Evening Bike Rides

Kelly just bought a bike a few weeks ago, a cute little Trek 7100 WSD.

It's a perfect match to my own Trek 7100 that I purchased two years ago when I first started this blog.


So anyways we have matching bicycles!

We've been making it a habit to get out and ride 3-4 days each week in the evening when the weather starts to cool. Kelly hasn't biked for a while, but with every bike ride we go further and further as she builds her endurance back up. The land is rather flat out here so hills aren't a problem.


For the past several days it has been grotesquely hot... in the 90s w/ a heat index of 100°, but last night it cooled back down into the 70s. Wonderful weather for a bike ride.

To the south were a bunch of swirling cirrostratus clouds. They were catching the light from the setting sun, changing colors from orange to pink to purple.Swirling Cirrostratus clouds catching the light from the sun at sunset. Taken during a June evening Bike Ride.



We stopped once we reached Cross Creek & Tontogany Rd. to watch the sunset.

Camera phones can be very convenient sometimes, especially when treated with such a lovely evening. I had to stop on our ride back home to capture the moment.
Sunset out in the country. Red and purple clouds, blue sky, green corn & trees, yellow wheat fields, and orange sunset.
Between the red & purple clouds, blue sky, green corn & trees, yellow wheat fields, and orange sunset and riding along with my Kelly I really felt peaceful and wonderfully grateful for being able to live out in the country.


I'm hoping that everyone else is able to enjoy moments like this. I am so lucky.
