Magical Ride

Post by Stradageek »

The only way to describe the ride home from work on Wednesday. I cycled for 10 miles on quiet unlit country lanes towards a brilliant full moon rising through the clouds. The air was cool but still and the moon was so bright that I thought my lights were failing. On reaching a gridlocked Northampton I took to the cycle paths, stealing occasional glimpses of the moon between trees and houses until my penultimate run along the riverside with the moon reflected in the water. I dawdled so much that my wife was beginning to wonder where I was. I kept thinking to myself 'well this is what it's all about'!
