Well…finally dragged myself off the couch and got on the bike and that may have been a mistake…the ride was pure torture from the first mile to the last with my hands going into full cramp mode as soon as I left here and then continued to get worse through the entire 12 miles….there were some things on the trail that made me smile a little starting with the first almost all black red tailed hawk I’ve ever seen…they are normally brown and white on their backs but this one was jet black….strange…then, heading into the woods someone had put red balloons and a “will you marry me?” sign along with hearts and rose petals spread across the path….then, looking for the last bit of artwork where a hundred chistmas ornaments were hung in the trees…I saw it had been moved about 200 yards from where it was the last time I saw them…at least that distracted me from the pain in my hands….
