an uneventful ride

a few days after i graduated from high school, my grandparents took me on a road trip to my aunt and uncle's house in illinois. before he headed out on the highway, we prayed together. my grandma prayed for an uneventful trip. when she finished i took her to task. "grandma, we don't want an uneventful trip. we want an eventful one filled with good events."

after last night's flat fest, i understand better what my grandma was asking for back then. i'm grateful for this morning's uneventful ride. the sun was shining. the sky was clear except for a few wispy cirrus clouds. the wind was fairly calm. cato performed well. no skipping gears or flat tires. no crazy effort. just a nice calm, uneventful recovery ride. (10.24 miles @ 16.3mph)
