This morn I awoke
And the first words I spoke
Were “Hey! What a beautiful day!”
Now, life is no joke.
I feel nearly broke,
But today, I’m gonna get away!
So I hop on my bicycle
Knowing that soon I will
Be able to turn down my brain
Not to be cynical
Or technically clinical
But, it keeps me from going insane.
Just to ride through the trees
Hear the brook, feel the breeze
Smell the leaves
Watch them dance in the air
Rocks and dirt 'neath my wheel
It's so solid and real
I feel fully alive and aware
Trail rhythm is sensual
Muscles warmed up and flexible
Bike and rider, one well-oiled machine
Scenery incredible
A vision indelible
And my cares are nowhere to be seen
Come ride your cares away this Tuesday at the West Windsor Town Forest trailhead, meeting at 5:45, riding at 6:00. Lights are advisable, but there will be plenty of options to bail out if it gets too dark for you.
