here comes the sun

I bought a bike last Friday!! It’s a Specialized Allez!! I am wicked excited about this. When I rode it at the store I felt like I was flying. It was a bit out of my price range but I figured I should get something that I felt good about. I know God will supply.

Sunday I went on my first real ride around the 11.5-mile loop by my school. It goes through a few blueberry fields, then near the ocean, with a few hills through out. It’s a wonderful little ride. It took about 50 min. Not bad for the first ride. I hope…

Today, as I was riding I noticed a bald eagle soaring above me. I love seeing these amazing creatures! It reminded me at how difficult this trip will be for me. Back in the 90’s the bald eagle was on the endangered species list. But, with help, they came back. Now they’re off the list and have a rather large population here in Maine. As I do not have a lot of experience biking I am relying on God to get me through.

I think it’s rather cool that while I am training to ride accost the US, I am able to see our nations bird!
