I went for a bike ride this morning in the cool, wet air. Decided to go a little retro and try out one of Lincoln's older trails in Pioneers Park.
Wow. The spin and roll of the hills made for a pretty tough ride. Gorgeous but tough. More contemporary bike trails sport a level terrain, slow with any elevation change, abandoned by the railroad lines generally. The whole idea that a person would exercise for fun is a pretty new phenomenon. We've tamed the experience to embrace more riders. But this trail was less welcoming. One built for athletes or thrill-seekers.
Silly as it sounds it was that notion that powered me through the terrain this morning. That I could be considered a thrill-seeker.
