My husband keeps a blog where he can philosophize from time to time when the feeling captures him and also of course record impressions of his many bike rides.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to paint this view of my ride. It was cold, the sky was filled with clouds, but the sun came out from time to time blinding us in the reflections from the wet pavement.  The forested areas we passed looked dark  as the pavement dazzled us with sunshine. This painting shows one of the big tough hills we had to climb up.
