Not the people exactly, the people too may be the same, but whatever each\u00a0consciousness brings and whatever the interaction between them may be. \u00a0In 2010 I started using dances as a destinations to satisfy my love of transportation by bicycle. \u00a0This week the\u00a0determination of my fellow cyclists, encouragement from many dancers, and support of our loved ones has enriched the experience; for this I am very grateful.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/wpid-fb_img_1438653992575.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"FB_IMG_1438653992575.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/wpid-fb_img_1438653992575.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falcon Ridge was, as always, \u00a0great music, great dancing, and a breath of fresh perspective on our everyday lives. \u00a0When I&#8217;m there, it feels like the lapse since the last festival was only momentary and the changes that occur in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112,"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions\/112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devonfernandez.com\/bike15\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
