It was a beautiful day for a ride on my trike. We pulled into a local Park.




Cars we here and there. The swings were empty. No children or mothers in sight.
I guess everyone wanted to read a book while sitting alone in their cars.


Whatever

We enjoyed the peace and quite.
Next time we'll climb the observation tower.
I love bird watching.

Not only because you're out having fun, but because you have green. We don't have that kind of green here.

I hope you were thinking of me.

Bought the Honda Trike when I was 55.
I do have a two wheel bicycle sitting out front.

How old is your cousin?

I think my peddling days are over. Old hips that go ouch daily.
Living with diabetes has changed things for me. I'm grateful that it's not a huge problem.

Tell him I said Thanks for doing the race.

I'm totally legal. DILLIGAF Americade will be going on soon 200 miles northeast of us. The local boys in blue get a might picky right about now. Yep, they do.

It was warm enough for me to ride in shorts and sandals.
After Jeff R's first long ride, he said: Next time I'll tuck in my shirt.

I have a funky tan now. Strap lines for top, strap lines for sports bra, strap lines for backpack.

The weather has been beautiful here. I'm not sure where we are going this weekend, maybe up into the mountains. This time of year, the canyons are spectacular.

Never made it to Arizona. The photos are awesome. Wish I could see the canyons.

I know you'll have fun no matter where you ride.

I lived in AZ when I made the account. Now I live in Salt Lake City. The canyons here are even better!

I keep going back hoping to see a beaver, but so far no luck. That was taken at my favorite stopping spot in Big Cottonwood Canyon, outside Salt Lake. It's lovely beyond words up there.

Passing through in a big truck. There was snow on the mountains. I remember that.

I wish you luck on seeing the beaver this year.
