Biking Mz/Cody and Randy
“I’ll be back,” is often the phrase we hear a couple times a day. Mz and Cody bike and run 2x daily. Sometimes through the surrounding vineyards, through the village to a creek, around the nature walk, to the boulangerie or through the neighborhood. More frequently they just take off without a destination and let the roads guide them. When one of us tags along, we experience life as the youngest ones in the family do. Mountain biking has become a new place of enjoyment for Mz. She relishes in the freedom, open fields, narrow paths, the independence, and determination to keep them both safe.
A couple times a week, Randy takes to biking the countryside surrounding the neighboring villages. Mainly car-free roads, tree-filled plains stretching to the not-so-distant mountains. Horses, in their fields, running alongside him. Wineries beckoning for return visits. Local café servers recounting the days when the Tour De France would ride by and sharing their own stories of being professional riders. Occasionally, he meets other riders and they chat in French about life. The guy below and his dog were traveling Europe and Africa. Apps like Kamoot and Strava record and keep an eye on Randy’s destinations for both of us.
