 I ride the Little Miami Scenic Trail for a variety of reasons, but maintaining fitness has to rank pretty high on my list. When I ride there is lots of time to think. Sometimes I mull over and resolve challenges in my personal life. Sometimes I wonder when I am going to get into good enough shape to pull the next gear higher during my whole ride, or wonder why I agreed to go to the upcoming designer show house event my wife wants me to go to. And then every once in a while something, usually nature, encroaches on my ride.
The intrusion can be the grumble of distant thunder, or the roar of a crop duster overhead as the daredevil pilot swoops to lay down the spray. The sounds of the birds in the thickets beside the trail change through the season. This week I heard the Baltimore Oriole for the first time. The Indigo Bunting I frequently see fly up from the trail in the summer has not arrived yet, but the wrens are out and about now too.

Yellow Spring Street Fair Trip, Oct. 7th, 2011 |

I had the good fortune, Friday before last, to meet Steve Murphy in downtown Morrow and ride my bike with him along the park trail to Yellow Springs, Ohio. We set out, taking in the scenery along the way, to attend the Yellow Springs Street Fair the following day and return on Sunday. It had been years since I was in that town, saddened at the time to hear that the college there had closed, and I was looking forward to seeing it again, and seeing the people there, those eclectic bohemians of the past and, of course, seeing what the daylong street fair had to offer, too.
