1. Riding on new routes (e.g. I'd never heard of Centerville before, much less ridden there).
2. Missed turns and unexpected discoveries (thumbs up to Egg Lake Road).
3. Riding by lakes, horses, and cows.
4. Taking unflattering photos of myself because they make me laugh (cue sweaty grey hair and crinkly eyes).
5. Being able to offer others something that I had been carrying on my bike just in case, like a snack.
6. Not being the one with a flat tire.
7. Standing at a familiar vista point and seeing something unexpected (like a tall sailboat on the Mississippi).
8. Riding where a race just ended and there are lots of biffies.
9. Chocolate chili brownies.
10. Being able to take the lane less stressfully due to riding with someone (and even better when it's around a pretty lake).
11. Lemonade stands.
12. Having the windy, cold rain storm pass through after I'm home.
