So glad I went for this ride…

New bike for bikepacking adventures! 62 miles on the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor — this bike is awesome! 😊

Enjoyed a staring contest with a black mink today so I guess you could say it was a great day! ☺️

I’ve always felt compelled to enjoy this route by 🚲. Since today is my b-day & my hubby had to do whatever I wanted 😉, I asked him to shuttle. The wind was fierce & that 3.5-mile climb required several breaks, but I did it & it was awesome! Every ride is a good ride simply b/c I’m on my bike.

First I fell in love with Sarah Marshall on You’re Wrong About which led me to You Are Good. Naturally, I fell in love with @alexsteed.bsky.social which led me to follow his recommendation for this book by the wonderful @nikostratis.com. I’m enjoying it so much more than I even anticipated. 💜💜💜

Merchant’s Millpond State Park is an absolute treasure! ♥️
I can’t wait to visit again someday for another lovely paddle along this serene Bald Cypress swamp. 🌲

Adventures of a non-mechanical brain w/bike repair — Who knew putting the rear tire on w/only two hands would be the hardest part of replacing brake pads? And I got another lesson in why bikes should hang by the dropper post rather than top tube (pinched brake cable, anyone?) I’m learning so much…

“Forced to be an independent woman” 😫 — Unless I divorce my husband and marry a bike mechanic?

I’ll spare everyone the long saga. Let’s just say that I spent an hour working on my bike and I learned a lot.

Also, I installed new bike grips. Behold 😍

My local coffee shop is closing. In addition to great coffee and delicious scones, it was a welcoming, vibrant, wonderful community in our small town and I am so sad to see it go. ☕️

Enjoyed a much-needed solitary hike on one of my favorite local trails with lots and lots of gorgeous rocks. 🍒 🥾

Once again, we escaped the snow & cold of the mountains to enjoy cycling & golfing in the warmth of Tybee Island. 🏝️

And, once again, the absolute best thing about Tybee was Mi Vida. Fresh, delicious food; great coffee; beautiful vibe; & the kindest, loveliest people you could ever hope to meet. ☺️

Thoroughly enchanted with this delightful little book. Reading it while sitting near the ocean on a lovely morning was near perfection. ☺️

Thankful for awesome little bookstores and wonderful new books. Stumbling upon Sellers Books in Jim Thorpe, PA was a delightful treat! 📚 #BookSky

Best reads of January 📚

Both were spectacular! Samurai’s Garden was a lovely, meditative read. The Galaxy & the Ground Within completed a 4-book sci-fi series which I love with all my heart. ♥️
