30 Days of Biking, Day 29
Rain, rain, rain, all morning long. It was great to see, because we need the moisture, but tough to cycle in because lightning split the raindrops. When the skies finally cleared, I took the Felt cruiser out to do some shopping. This photo was snapped on the Shunga Trail, where the creek flowed fast and muddy.
Only one day left to the challenge. How time has flown.

The Spoked household took a nice, long road trip today–from Junction City to Abilene and back on the Pasta 58 Road & Gravel Ride. The pasta part applied at mid-day, when we had a hefty lunch at the Junction City 12th Street Community Center for whom the ride was a benefit. The route took us through the town of Chapman. Cyclists stopped for food and water at this rural elementary school in the Chapman district.
30 Days of Biking, Day 27
Exciting night tonight, although it started innocently enough when we rode to the local pizza place for dinner. We noticed storm warnings on the restaurant TV while waiting for our food, and decided to change the order from eat-in to carry-out. The sky looked a little scary as we tucked the pizza boxes under our arms and started rolling home. Even though we were cycling down hill we had to pedal hard because of a 25 mph headwind. It started to pour when we got about halfway home. The tornado sirens started blaring one block from home. Long story short, everything’s still standing. But it was a little exciting for a while.

No sky today, only the reflection of it. Notice the early morning mist on this little creek, and the mallard ducks playing in its waters. What you can’t see is Interstate 70 in the background–noisy, fast, impatient. This urban oasis awaits those who prefer a slower commute.
