Me First!

I’m being selfish today. Why shouldn’t I be first? I watched eagerly last night as light flakes drifted down. I planned it all. A dusting just enough to create a virgin run. I think this is what skiers pray for. Pretty ironic that I wanted it all for myself on a bike.
Ten minutes into this and I’m thinking that I was mean not to share it.
Who needs a one horse sleigh?
I could not have picked a better day or time. The sands of winter change this place so dramatically.
There was some walking involved. Bits and pieces here and there. A mile out of sixteen miles. I think that’s worth it.
It just made the downhills so much more fun!
No way! No one. Not a soul.
Maybe I hoped that someone would have tamped things down a little. Define the trail, maybe? Then my mind just went into a high octane focus. A huge smile. So this is what it’s like to have all your lobes firing at once. Best tune-up ever!
Jingle bell rock, indeed!
And now to saver the descent. A DECENT DESCENT!
