One of the few things (besides “free” music and movies) that will elicit civil disobedience in white, middle class families is the chance to use 1.4G (formerly Class C) explosives on the Fourth of July. I really enjoy seeing all the explosions around the area, so around dusk I set off on my bike to wander the local neighborhoods and watch people set off various glittering fires.
This ride ended up being roughly 12.3 miles, which was a nice cap on the day. Earlier Josh (my brother in law) and I had ridden Bald Mountain and Addison Oaks, but after a nice pile of picnic-type foods at my parents house and an unexpected nap I felt like getting back out and riding some more. A desire to watch people play with pyrotechnics provided the perfect reason to do so.
