one long bike ride

another long ride
all in one day
makes for a pleasant
time to pass the way

we made one big loop
seventy-seven miles long
we were so much faster-
now don't get me wrong

our time improved
and we are glad
maybe next year
100 miles won't sound bad

bike around the bay

cycling 78 miles in one day
is something I never thought I'd say
I had done or even that I'd pay
to do it. I even almost wished to stay
to finish the ride on the second day
this lovely fall bike around the bay
