Ya'll missed some good stuff. The sun was a little hot but as soon as it started dipping the temp was quite nice. And.... as an extra bonus.... the goats are gone! The chain is gone and Tilley is open.
Looks a little weird though. The steeper parts are quite covered with leaves in the grooves so braking is an interesting experience. The underbrush has this strange open look now about a foot or so of clearance all the way through. Fuzzy weed wackers
And of course I crashed in the Rock Garden again. 3 for the last 3 trips.....I gotta boo-boo! Maybe I should sue:
-my wife for letting me ride when I asked.
-the dad at this afternoon's bday party for forcing me to have a beer or two.
-the bike mfg. for making a bike that would make me think I can ride over everthing.
-the tire mfg. for making a bike that would make me think I can ride over everthing.
-myself for not taking the proper precautions and understanding the risks.
-MTBR for giving me ideas and delusions of grandeur.
