Today I had the kind of ride you can only hope for. It was a relatively short after-work ride but it felt effortless. It didn’t seem to matter whether there was a head wind (which there was), a long grade or a short climb. My body and Scooter were in synch. \u00a0I was covering a lot of ground quickly yet didn’t feel like I was exerting. My heart rate did not soar and my breathing was not labored. The pedals spun around and even riding out of the saddle felt comfortable and almost easy. I only wish I could capture the essence of my ride today and store it in a vessel on the shelf to draw on another day. Who knows how long it will be before I have another one that makes me smile all over inside.\u00a0 Thanks Scooter.<\/p>\n
