In-Town Tourist: Pedaling Backwards
Three Creeks Metro Park Visitor Information and Map
Our waves of “warm” are riding a bit low. In the teens (Fahrenheit), presently… Wind chill? Don’t ask (but please commiserate). If you have to ask, you couldn’t possibly understand.
So why am I posting photos from a fall bike ride? Reread the previous paragraph.
Ahhh… With these photos, I can almost remember when I craved a breeze and didn’t need to bundle up against the possibility of one. -When I would freeze bottles of water to savor after a run or ride instead of discover them frozen solid, and undrinkable, in my cupholders.
Here’s to summer, fall and spring… Here’s to sixty degrees and sunny (and for the record: I’m in no way opposed to sweating my way up to a more civil “ninety”). Here’s to surviving what frequently makes us stronger, “psuedo-stoic” (having shivered away even the energy necessary for a good weather whine) and heightens the gratitude with which we will subsequently greet even the rainiest April day.
Three Creeks Metro Park, with a trail system that winds through the confluence of seven major Ohio streams, is a worthy destination in any season. More details to follow…
