Winter Afternoon Ride In The Woods
| 28 December 2009
A cold Sunday afternoon in December and the pine woods of East Texas roll into view. We hit the trail @ Tyler State Park; the day is clear & crisp, the woods silent, stripped-down to an elemental winter beauty, a simple black & brown patina. I love training hard in the cold weather, but sometimes an easy cruise in the woods, with just a little push now and then, gets the real kid inside the real man feeling just this side of heaven. We whoop the downhills. We keep it under the redline on the ups. I like recovery rides to refresh me physically & psychologically. This one does it.
