7 am Legacy to Glover, Back on Main. It was a day out of Oklahoma! Oh, what a beautiful morning.... The LPT section that is set back from the road was particularly transcendent. I counted a dozen different calls from birds, plus frogs. The sun was up, but not hot. The company was great; Ash pedaled with me. Fartleks over the wood bridge section, with a little girl dusting me off on her bike every so often. If I happened to beat her to an imaginary finish line, she would say, "I'm not racing, Dad." By the turnaround we were thirsty, but needed a mile or so to make it to the skate park. One water fountain was flowing, thank goodness. In the last couple miles, I picked it up, but left my partner far behind. She was calling out for me to wait, so I did, and ran the last mile in slow. Mountain Dew recovery, and Happy Mother's Day. |
