Sublime Sunday Ride with my Son

It was one cloudy Sunday the last week of June 2022, my son and I went out for a bicycle ride around my village. The last couple of days were rainy, and so this Sunday, when the sun peeked from the dark clouds, we went out for bike adventure.

The sublime ride adventure is begun.

I like cycling and exploring parts of the village where I have not been before. I like to try different routes, different lanes, or dirt roads.

In this ride, we started from the little lane near our home, and the continued to pass farm and new houses. In this area, more new houses were built built. It's a sign of growing population in this neighborhood.

In the middle of our ride, we stopped to see white flowers growing on a meadow. They are actually from a kind of vegetable plant, called "Kangkung" or water spinach. They look beautiful since there were so many of them on the ground.

Enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of white flowers.

Then we continue riding into a more challenging track. It was bumpy dirt road, and the grass grow all over the road.

I went first into the dirt road, so I could check if the road is fine to cycle on. I let my son cycle behind me.

We saw a little house just built in the dirt road. It was an interesting house surrounded by farm. There was a white puppy looking at us as we rode pass the little house.

Oh, my, the road is a toilet for the cows!

Next, there was a small bridge on a small stream near the little house that I had to cross. I passed the bridge with no trouble, But then, as a I stood beyond the bridge, looking behind me, I saw my son fell of to the road. He was under his bicycle.

I parked my bike and helped him to stand up. He cleaned himself from rubbish and weeds. Because of this, he did not concentrate with the ride anymore. He felt itch in his hands and body.

my son lost his balance and fell of his bicycle near the bridge.

He was sad because the itch.

The lady owner of the little house came out to see what happened. "Would you like to come over to my house?" she asked. I just said. "that's very kind, but thanks."

We decided to ride back home because my son was itchy. Well, despite that, we really enjoy of the scenery along the way.
