I love my bike


I love my bike. I love my bike friends, all their bikes, their jerseys and helmets and shorts. I love the mud! I love it on our faces, all over my legs and my shoes. I love the muddy rocks, the slippery bridges. I love breathing. It can be green, it can glisten or slime, it can get muddy. I love the sweaty chill at the finish line, the hose, my muddy bike, leaving my shoes outside on the porch, a bath, a beer. It's true.

Wow! Love your bike pics and bike poem. I saw it on Blueline, but it was too late to comment (already archived) by the time I saw it.
