My work schedule is changing up temporarily to gather some data in the field. As of yesterday afternoon, I expected to work from 1-9pm today. Since I had the morning free, I thought that would be a great opportunity for some mountain biking.
I was off! I decided to time myself this time so I could see where I was at and have a concrete number to beat next time.
Toward the end of the trail I thought I heard music from somewhere. I had seen five deer and numerous squirrels but music?? Where would that be coming from, or was I making it up?
I kept going. It did occur to me that it could be the ringtone on my new phone which I had with me. I decided to finish the course before checking since I was only a few minutes from the end. Besides I was being timed!
It turned out that the music in the forest was indeed my phone. I had two calls saying the field work was being postponed a day so it was a normal workday afterall. Awww, shucks. And I was going to repeat the trail! Oh well, at least I cleared some cobwebs for the next riders. And I’ll get to ride again!
Good to know I wasn’t going crazy – at least not by hearing music in the forest!
