This is a shameless attempt to save the the most advanced civilization in
history from imminent self destruction by eliminating carbon emission,
dependence on foreign sources of fuel,obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
Cycling accomplishes all those things at once and helps us develop a better
understanding of ourselves, each other and our relationship to the cosmos.

Oh, horse puckey!
I like to ride bikes, have been doing it all my life.
The rest of that crap is just a fringe benefit,
and the blogosphere gives me a chance to share my interior
monologue with virtual rather than imaginary friends.

Glorious Last Hurrah



     It was a day like no other, November 10th in Michigan, just like any June afternoon.   No leaves left in the trees but you can't have it all.   It was a great day for one last Riv Ride before unpredictability sets in and  Fall kicks the wheels from under the cycling public.  Leah Peterson came along for another casual rIde along the KRVT.  
We did the distance to the Kal-Haven trailhead, just living the sunshine and breathing in the pleasure of a Michigan summer,  in November. 
     The interlude in the middle of this ride was Saffron Indian restaurant where they have finally resumed their lunch buffet.   At $18 a pop, it's pricier than the competition but worth every penny.  There's a nice selection of entrees and desserts,  all prepared to perfection.  It's a pleasure to see this place has revived after the pandemic. 
     The rest of the ride was spent meandering through the neighborhoods and downtown to find our way back through this glorious apparition of summertime.  From now on there will be days for pleasure, but most of the rides will be reduced to practicality dictated by the Michigan weather.
