I don't want to move again

I still have 11 months left in Monterey before I get sent somewhere else. But, man, I really don't want to move anywhere else if only for the riding.

Last night I pedaled my bike over to the monthly MORCA meeting. Something like 8 or 9 miles away. After dinner, 2 beers...oh yeah, the meeting too...I pedaled back home. This time I was on the road bike and had my new Light and Motion Stella LED light on it.

The ride home was fantastic. Pedaling down the coastal bike path, with a 1/2 moon at 11 o'clock in the sky and some stars out with very little light other than the Stella. Cool, crisp ocean air...just cool enough to give you a chill if you are not moving with some effort...feels great moving over your skin once warmed up. No wind, other than what you make by going faster. Def Leppard playing on the Ipod, and no one else out there but me. Wheels rolling so smoothly, at times effortlessly gliding down the path with nothing but 30 feet of path illuminated in front of me, the moon, and the stars.

I'm going to miss this place when I do have to leave.
