Sandman

Trails at Lew Mo were very dry because we’ve had hardly any rain recently. Leaves are also starting to turn colors and fall down. Around every corner I had to be aware that I was turning in what is basically sand. So I made the best of it and sang,

“Ride with both eyes open
Gripping your handlebars tight …
Because the Sandman has come”

12 miles. 1526 feet elevation gain. Not going to post my time. LOL. But it is 1 mph faster than I did a month ago, which is faster than I did 3 months ago.

Mountain Biking In Ice, Slush And Mud

Swamps to the left of me
Boulders to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with ice

Mountain biking on a 6 mile trail covered in ice, slush and cold mud was not the smartest thing I ever did; but it wasn’t the dumbest thing I ever did either. Oh and it sure was fun, and I would gladly do it all over again! 😉

It is also said by historians, that these rocky hills of North Jersey, were partly instrumental in General George Washington winning a war of attrition against the British. I can see why. LOL!

First burrito of 2019!

My first burrito of 2019! Burritos are warm and comforting, like puppies. Except that instead of being covered with fur, they are covered with a tortilla. And except that instead of holding them in your arms, you eat them. But aside from that, they are just as warm and comforting as puppies! I do know for a fact that puppies even like eating burritos.

Served with a side of homemade, tomato, lime, cilantro sauce. And a keyboard in the background.
