Friday Flash Nonfiction in 55 words

Wind and engine noise combine into a song as I ease into 5th gear and lean into a curve. Pressure on the handlebar, lean just a little, roll on the throttle, and Red Molly flies through the twisty like a low-flying plane. The sunshine sparkles on the water, it’s a beautiful day for a ride.
______________________________

Today I am taking Red Molly to the Olympic Peninsula which will include a ferry ride. I will visit with some friends there and then head home this evening. It is another gorgeous day and I am so looking forward to the ride.
Oops, I mean, it's raining... again...still more.
You'd hate it here.
