Tooling Around in Running Shoes.

After 40-miles of single-track endurance training yesterday, I slept late today and decided to go for a moderate recovery ride shortly after noon. My road bike just didn't appeal to me, and I certainly didn't want to ride the mountain bike. This left my cyclocross bike as the only logical option. I'm using the 'Cross bike as my commuter, so it has flat pedals on it. Being too damn lazy to change the pedals out, I decided to just go with the flow and ride with the flat pedals on it. Note the running shoes in the photo above.

I tooled around on some gravel road routes north of town, eventually working my way to the Abbeville loop.

Along the way, I crossed a nice little stream with a small rapids rolling over some tree stumps. I’m not sure why, but I find the sound of moving water very relaxing.

I saw this interesting phone booth at an abandoned gas station in Abbeville.

I don’t know what kind of flowers these are, but I could smell them from a rather long distance away.
