One nice day

I spent some time on a mountain bike today, stomping my singlespeed around my home trail. It rained a few days ago, so the sandy, washed-out sections that had me churning my rear tire and plowing my front just last week were suddenly cake walks. The warm sun and brisk air had me zipping down my wool jersey on the climbs and zipping it back up on the descents. I got home in time for a holiday meal with my family and then still had enough daylight left to take an afternoon hike around the neighborhood. Given the crazy and occasionally trying year BeanSS and I have been through, it was good to have a plain old nice day.
