warm in the sun, chilly in the shadows
riding a route in a revisited direction
no humans to be seen for two hours
as the low-angled light shines bright
that flicker piercing the eyes through dark lenses
that sudden sound of a quail covey taking flight
that turn into a rocky corner with no sight line
that familiarity of lung burn and taut muscle
riding a bike on dirt in late autumnal light
releases the cares and welcomes in the
understanding of not being care-less but
rather, being carefree, for a moment in life

Sounds like my kind of riding
