Power of Receiving Help
Johnstown to Utica, NY: 35 of 52 miles
Day 14 Empire State Trail Ride
Sunday, August 15, 2021
Are you asking for help when you need it?
Four of our group,
Made sure I was on route today.
Putting me in "middle" of line,
Waiting at top of hill,
When I walked up.
Standing at spot where route changed,
So I'd know which to choose
When I arrived.
MUCH appreciated!
I rode van in after lunch.
Realized I was feeling a "bit peaked.”
Not even sure what that means.
Good decision.
I've had two-hour nap.
Long soak in hot bath.
Surely those are curatives.
I've asked someone to bring soup from restaurant.
I'll not go to map meeting this evening.
By morning I'm sure I'll be
Back to riding.
Quickly I'll tell you that
Erie Canal path was VARIED!
Some paved, some pea-gravel surfaced.
One section best described as "single-track.”
Hugs,
Lin
Limerick:
I am feeling just a bit "crummy,”
Not sure if my head or my tummy.
It surely is best,
If I take some rest.
To push it would really be "dummy.”
