Wordless Wednesday

I've been riding in some pretty cold, and at times, dreary conditions, so I'm sure many are wondering why I bother. In part it's because I see people 20 yrs older than I am having to give up their mobility, and that prospect urges me on. In part, it's because to control BP I have to ride on a regular schedule. In part it's the fun of meeting the unique challenges attendant with riding in the cold, but mostly, it's because it's quiet, peaceful, and beautiful - even gorgeous - out there. Here's a sample of what I get to take in almost every day out there riding on the ARPT.
