Today was a very welcome day off from flat tires, tune ups, crazy customers and that damn phone that drills my head. Went for a easy 20 mile ride on a deserted farm road. Rode ten miles out and back and did not break a sweat. Came home, changed and went over to the inlaws to help in the garden. Once done with the dirt action, we went home and took Route 64 out to the town of Oregon, near the Rock River. Had dinner in a diner, then went and checked out an awesome state park that overlooks the river. We saw lots of Hawks circling in the river valley. Took the little one to some falls and had to drag her out and into the car. She did not want to leave at no cost. The drive was 34 miles and we arrived home in 39 minutes. No cars in sight, no traffic lights, no traffic jams. I am loving the country. We discovered lots of hills in Oregon and some of them pretty steep. I am thinking of driving out there and taking my road bike to do some cool riding. Fishing is tempting as is doing some camping at the state park.
Tomorrow is friday and I know I am riding into work and that we are going to have a great day. Picture of sunset taken behind our driveway.
