Always amazing lighting and skies during early morning country rides. A modest 30 miles this morning with chilly 43°F temps. Lots of other cool scenes on my ride but was too busy cruising to snap some pics. #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #seenonmyride #seenwhilecycling #specialized #iamspecialized #allez #artemis #sky https://www.instagram.com/p/BrxjJLPlAzf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q5ni0e81emgf

Had a great ride with so much beautiful scenery today. I like taking pictures of portions of my ride even if they sometimes all look alike. It's just a desire to share the experience. But on days like today, I choose to be greedy and keep those sights, sounds, smells and feelings for myself. No one can take from me the life I've experienced on the road. Some people are sour, salty, jealous and miserable and will try to rob you of those experiences. But I am free. I am independent. I will continue to stuff my greedy pockets with life! #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #goals #cyclinggoals #myway https://www.instagram.com/p/BrI7Zs-lP80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9fqm0a7jx895

If you're gonna flat, you may as well have some good scenery to look at. #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #seenonmyride #seenwhilecycling #sceneonmyride #sky #clouds https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVFr3flYoR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iqedmjw5ab08

I was cruising down a notoriously empty road with a false flat eating the wind on today's ride. Going pretty slow, I noticed this American bald eagle standing on the side of the road (no, this isn't the setup for a joke!). As I approached, it took flight and flew directly in front of me, at eye level, about three feet ahead. I felt like I could have reached out and grabbed him. He peered over his shoulder, dropped the hammer and took off into this tree. I just had to double back and get some pics. Man I love riding my bike! #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #seenonmyride #seenwhilecycling #sceneonmyride #eagle #americanbaldeagle #gorideyourbike #whyiride https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIU-BmFy6g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16wj30vl7cxsw

These are absolutely my spare tubes! I literally have boxes with hundreds of patches. #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #DIY #miser https://www.instagram.com/p/BqEPEv9lbe8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dmxrpggj2p41

Back to back 40-milers. Now the quads are feeling the burn. The weather was cooperative and my focus on position and cadence paid off. #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #seenonmyride #seenwhilecycling #sceneonmyride #specialized #iamspecialized #allez #artemis https://www.instagram.com/p/BqC7g0yF8c4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eqfpbnj9v1su

Took the day off and went riding. What else would you do on a day off! Especially with gorgeous back county roads to cruise on. This is the real side of Florida most people don't see. What better way to clear your head, test your mettle and breathe in life. #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #seenonmyride #seenwhilecycling #sceneonmyride #bealive #breatheintheair https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpr5KWxlShO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fsrtisrmq50x

During my ride today, I came across a cow giving birth. As I approached (about 50 feet away), the white cow finished birthing the calf lying on the ground. The black cow, I'm fairly certain, had just given birth not too much sooner as her calf was walking on wobbly legs. When people ask why I ride, these are the answers they get. Not the mileage, not the speed. But the things I experience while riding that are life affirming. And it doesn't get much more literal than this. #cycling #cyclingphotos #igerscycling #wauchulacycling #wherethehelliswauchulaflorida #realflorida #naturalflorida #seenonmyride #seenwhilecycling #sceneonmyride #bealive #lifeaffirming #whyiride https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpr6f1GFGKF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dojkt9d4c4n8
