“Four wheels ride the body. Two wheels move the soul.” —Author Unknown
The beauty of cycling is that as long as you’re ready, you can cycle anytime of day. This is what I do, cycle odd hours and just have fun and have “me" time. I have even helped other’s catch the cycling bug as others helped me. I also ride regularly with a friend and neighbor. But, seldom do I have a chance to ride with Jason which was a special treat for him and for me. He works from home and works out on his Peloton which he enjoys. I play outdoors (I’m retired) mostly riding and swimming. So during this time we met in the middle and I invited him for a short afternoon ride. Of course my idea of a short ride is over ten miles. So he was surprised afterwards when I told him we rode 14 miles. He thought it was four which proves the perennial wisdom: “Time flies when you’re having fun.”
We hit the Los Gatos Creek Trail to Campbell Park and reversed course and rode the Trail back towards Los Gatos, stopping to enjoy the various bridges, waterfalls, Vasona Lake reservoir and spillway, the Vasona Park Bridge, and through the large empty parking of the national headquarters of Netflix that backs up to the trail and the train tracks in the front before crossing Winchester Avenue and Pollard on our way home. I motioned with my hand to Jason with my right hand that we would circle Jack Fisher Park. As we did I heard a “Baa” sound. At first I thought I was hearing things. There are no farms in this neighborhood. Sure enough it was a small black sheep with protruding horns being walked on a rope leash by a young girl. I stopped and asked if I could take a picture and she obliged and told me her pet sheep was seven months old.
