Early morning departures from home
Bike boxes intact, old and new connections
Made again, followed by the need to
Get out on the trail as soon as possible
Grilled meat under a blanket of dairy
Beans, stewed, and beers, brewed
We soon were ready to give the
Bikes a post-lunch shakedown ride
Smiles all around, and happiness
Friends coming together old and new
Riding in the sun on a lakeside
On the side of mountains, brown
