I have been doing lots of riding lately - now that it's the end of the season...
Our Friday night ride is quickly running out of daylight!
Last Friday, as we were riding out of the trails in the near-dark, I saw three beautiful does on the hillside and stopped to talk to them - about 200 yards further down the track, I saw a momma black bear with two cubs...
I had to do a double take, but Lannio & Koos are right, those do look like a man's legs!
Last July 4th weekend Randy and I were camping and went for a short ride around the park. We were headed uphill for the entrance gate and I stood up on the pedals.
My right foot slipped off the pedal and the rest of me went left and down - in slow motion, of course!
Nothing was broken and there was no real harm done - just a nasty skinned knee and some other minor scrapes.
I blame improper footwear :( Note to self: Never wear sandals when riding a bicycle!!
Dale said (a few posts down).. Our home is cosy with the warm scent of baking pies mingled with burning firewood from the stove.
You should cook for me Dale, our house has the scent of burning pies mingled with gas escaping from the new fireplace.
I used to ride dirt bikes until I was the hapless *rider/victim on the back* years ago. My driver decided to shortcut under a weeping willow tree. Couldn't see the ditch just inside it's weeping leaves. When they pulled the bike off my leg (sandy was thrown clear) it's tailpipe peeled off a nice (huge) chuck of skin along with it.
Hi Dale, I have a bicycle, but no time to ride. Here in the town it's not the best to go by byke. It's better to go by feet. Take care. Love and peace Stefan
OUCHHHHHH!!! Hope you weren't hurt dear Dale...and I'm sure your elgs...legs...are much more elegant..;-)
Just popped by to see your Who post now...a bit late I know....but couldn't ignore your wounding. I hope you gave the dastardly log a right telling off!
I have to agree about the legs too, if they were your I was going to suggest a shave!!! Glad your OK after your fall or should I say many falls. I haven't been here in some time and I want to go and check out your concert post. Can't wait to read it.
I'm acutally quite good at jumping logs on my bike...
ReplyDeleteI only fall off around corners, on the flat or just standing still...
I think my pedal clips are too tight.
...or my helmet.
ReplyDeleteI figured it wasn't you before I read it .... those legs just aren't a match!
ReplyDeleteLovely intermezzo Dale!
ReplyDeleteMy feeling about the legs exactly, look more like a man's legs.
Do you go out on your bike often these days Dale?

ReplyDeleteI can bring this back to Saturday night...
ReplyDelete"all I wanna do is...bicycle! bicycle!"
I broke my ribs falling from my bicycle on a steep downhill at the ski hill during the summer of 2003.
ReplyDeleteI also have a big scar on my left butt cheek where I gashed myself on a gnarly stump upon landing.
Dale,

Never rode again.
Hi O Silver.

If I may, that IS such a pretty picture of you!
ReplyDeleteAt your profile I mean, noticed it over at Anne-Marie's
May the Universe keep your stamina...
