8 MILE RIDE + HIKE

My tires were freshly pumped, I was ready to go, opened the gate, hopped on my bike, and sped off. Went towards the hills, and it is never easy, but always easier, uphill about half the time, with a steady to steep incline, and reverse on the way back. I made it to the top of colima, a spot I ride my bike to frequently. Along the way I stopped at a trailhead, and ventured off to the side, I tossed my bike over the fence, and walked through. There were beautiful views, and an empty parking lot, as nobody was at the trail this day. I took my bike with me, and continued on the trail. I found this lush spot on the cliff ridge, where there was a clearing in between just big enough for me. I took out my journal and began to write. Afterwards I meditated and listened to the soothing sounds nature provided, before taking a breather and allowing myself to fully relax before even thinking of turning back. Eventually I headed back to finish my ride, and found myself another beautiful day in the books. 10/10
