Rising Above

This is such a happy sight for me. Not because it is a happy picture, but because I'm not involved in it. My detachment from the feeling of trapped inside a vehicle was glorious as I biked across the bridge. 

The Velveteen Rabbit

{ALERT: this post has nothing to do with bikes, except that bikes are life.}

It takes a long time to wear down the sharp edges, and a lot of courage not to break. I might have broken a bit, and my edges aren't all smooth and soft. The skin horse also says you don't mind if things hurt when your Real. Apparently I'm still a work in progress.

My friend was in the hospital last week. She got really, really sick. I hope she doesn't go burn everything down, because she's Real to me. You can't depend on everyone or everything, but I can depend on her.

Tour de Brew

I really wanted to ride my bike. This rain did not stop me.

I want to shout out to my friends Alan W. and Paige J.S. for supporting me on this fun, rainy Tour de Brew! Thank you! Water for Good! (also, beer and bicycles)
