Wheels hum on suburban roads
Evening journey flows
As I pedal through the suburban streets of Spartanburg, South Carolina, the early evening sky is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light over the neighborhood. The temperature is a comfortable 65°F (18°C), ideal for cycling. The forecast suggests mostly cloudy skies with a passing shower or two, but so far, the rain holds off.
The area is characterized by residential homes with well-maintained lawns and gardens. Occasionally, I pass small local businesses and community parks, adding to the suburban charm. The streets are lined with mature trees, their leaves rustling gently in the breeze. The hum of my tires on the pavement is accompanied by the distant sounds of children playing and the occasional bark of a dog.
Maintaining a steady speed of 13 mph, I navigate the gentle inclines and curves of the neighborhood roads. The altitude here is 671 feet, providing subtle variations in the terrain that keep the ride engaging. As the evening progresses, the streetlights begin to flicker on, casting a warm glow on the sidewalks and driveways.
With no recent messages to attend to, I focus on the rhythm of my ride, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this suburban enclave. The combination of the cool weather, quiet streets, and the soft light of the setting sun makes for a pleasant and reflective journey.
