The Ride

Ok let’s get atleast one ride done during weekdays. Today it is.
Oh, it’s drizzling.
Typical, I want to ride and it’s raining after no rains for more than a week.
To ride or not? Ok let’s ride anyways. Be positive. It will be nice.
Humm, looks like it won’t rain that much. Enjoy!
Hum the song 🎵 “Rain on me, rain on me”.
Nice have fun.

Oh rains disappeared. Good that I came out to ride.
Don’t like the headwinds. Grinding.
Finally turn back, Tailwinds, yay.
Let it spin baby. 40KMPH, ya I like it. Ya I like it.
Toll booth, a bit tired, no tail wind. Slow down.

Approaching home. Hear a bell ring and it sounds like the bell which rings when racers are doing the last lap in stadium at the end of Paris - Roubaix. 
Yes, I see the finish line, last push but I am tired. Slowly roll over the finish line. 
Nice ride, eh! 
Oh that bell, was from a temple on the roadside 😀
