Time to ride. Again.

Leaving a mark

Every cyclist has a different reason for pushing the pedals.

Some of us are seeking something new toward the horizon.

Others are trying to leave something behind.

Or maybe turn down the volume of life so they can hear themselves think.

Sometimes I wonder what my own reasons are, but none of it matters once I push off that first time and feel the power transfer from my legs into the road.

On this sunny afternoon, I leave shadows wherever I go, fleetingly temporary marks on a landscape just barely coming to life after a long winter.

The wind whistles in my ears as it simultaneously nudges me toward the ditch deep in the countryside. Meanwhile, unseen crickets sing the song of spring amid the swaying wild grasses growing beside flooded farmers’ fields.

If this is what home looks and sounds like to a cyclist, then I guess I’m home. It’s good to be back.
