Honestly when I’m out solo hiking deep in the woods that’s where it happens the most for me.

It’s bliss when I can lay there with silence in my mind while watching clouds float by.

I really need to go hiking again.

      Cycling is another great one for sure but unfortunately in my local community most of the bicycle infrastructure is best described as an afterthought at best so I’m playing frogger with my life and staying absolutely focused on my surroundings.

      It’s physically and mentally exhausting.

      It’s a different kind of bliss but still bliss for sure as if I do it enough during the week my sleep schedule is so much better.

        I don’t know where you live but in most places you can find quiet back roads with little traffic as soon as you get out of the city. I try to avoid cycling in car traffic as much as possible.

          There is a road about 10 miles from my house that is just rural and empty, has a huge shoulder to ride on, and no major elevation changes. My perfect Saturday morning was riding 20-30 miles on that road.

          …And then the county went and put chipseal down. It created so much resistance on my tires that it felt like pedaling in mud. And it only got worse overtime because all the loose chipseal the cars kick up piles up on the shoulder. It just breaks my heart.
