Junea Excursion
With
some trepidation,
I
joined my excursion group.
I met
kind Melissa;
She’d
keep me in the loop.
It was
raining that day.
We had
to dress right,
Rain
proof coat and pants,
Warm hairband and gloves (white),
I hadn’t
been on a bike
For nearly
fifteen years.
I practiced
in the parking lot
And set
aside my fears.
So, we
were off, the twelve of us
In
line, like a train.
The
scenery was beautiful,
Even
in the rain.
We
rode along the highway
And
trails in the woods.
The
wet and cold weather
Made
us glad for hats and hoods.
We parked
bikes by a pretty lake,
Took
pictures of a glacier,
A waterfall
and golden trees,
A place
that one could savor.
I had
a few problems
With my
hair falling loose,
And my
glasses steaming up
Which
made me the caboose.
I
enjoyed the ride all in all
And I
had such fun.
But after
eight miles of it
I was
glad when we were done!
