ridewithin

It’s late and my legs hurt. I just devoured a post bike ride/pre ekadasi plate of Vegan Mac n uncheese. I had a great yoga session at the studio. It was packed and I got the royal position of being right in front of the heater. Nice method for intensifying the practice.

After yoga Jason and I decided to go on our first bike ride of the spring. First we road out to the grocery store to purchase the very best frozen dessert on the market. Good Karma brand-Carrot Cake Vegan Rice Cream. It is my new sinful enjoyment. It takes the edge off. Check them out at http://www.goodkarmafoods.com/

So Jason and I rode 20 miles from Athens to Nelsonville to watch our old friend Kat in her thesis performance called “My Name is Rachel Corrie”. We have known her since she was a Freshman and I have never seen any of her shows until today. I am happy to have seen at least her very last performance in college. The performance brought back many college memories and desires of heading to Palestine. I was telling Jason of a tattoo I saved up to get just before I joined the temple. I never got it and gave the money I saved up to my president to purchase Sri Sri Gaura Nitai Dieties which are now installed in Phoenix Arizona. The tattoo was going to be a large picture of Palestinian children with slingshots, molitov cocktails and rocks. It would have gone all the way around my body from my back to my stomach. That would have shocked a few people during festivals. It is always interesting to see devotees wrapped in their gumshas in the bathroom for the first time. All of their tattoos are revealed.

During the performance one of the songs was a modern hip hop rendition of SriKrishna Govinda…. Krsna is everywhere, even in small town Appalachia.

We left the theater by 9pm and rode the 17 miles back home in the moonlight. We loved each moment of the ride despite our legs being very very tired.

Does anyone out there have a road bike or track bike they want to get rid of?

We are planning our next ridewithin tour, want to come?
