the lonely bicycle

I have a mild cold. I could still ride or run or go to a birthday party this afternoon, but probably not all three - probably just one. I don’t really crave running right now, though, so maybe a ride. This cold is narrowing it all down for me…

The cold asks: What is important for you right now? What do you want to spend your limited energy on… an afternoon with friends at a birthday bbq or a ride on a cool grey afternoon with yourself, a wool flannel, and light steel road bike?

What I’m realizing is that all I really want to do is go for a ride even if it takes all the life out of me and keeps me from the party…
