You guys are having WAY too much fun over there! No idea what he's saying, but the look on the rider's face at 22:56, during the 'pedaling through idyllic countryside on gravel' segment, pretty much says it all.

He said (inter alia) "Someone pinch me! I can't believe it!" He put the "Someone pinch me" in the title of the video.

Re the beautiful flower shot: Kandinsky the impressionist painter once bemoaned that nature can get away with color combos he can't. Like purple and green.

Above a mile from home near the end of my ride. Rain until 10am when I launched knowing more was coming though not the tornado warnings that were issued later. Missed me ty...but the deer are coming close. My road dead-ends into a farm road, and coming home I often go to the end to pad my milage and ascents. Today a doe was surprised by me and ran along the fence for a hundred feet before crossing into my neighbors yard...I return from the road's end and she is back at the same place. Now, just before posting, I stand on my deck and see her behind the barn.
Rode 14miles and passed the self-serve baked goods cupboard wheeled out on Sundays. I had forgotten about it but scrounged $3 from bar bag and got a poppyseed loaf
