Dear reader,
It's been 7 days since Cross of the Corn. Still no results.
On to subjects that make me happier:
Monk and I did a couple of laps around Lums Pond State Park this morning on our cross bikes. On our first lap, we came upon 4 equestrians all women, I would say in their late 50’s or so. We got off our bikes and let them pass. They were very nice and appreciative. On our second lap, we came upon them again, and again got off our bikes to allow them to pass. We struck up a conversation and the lead woman said to us, “You guys are so nice. Thank you. Lots of times bikers come by and don’t even slow down.” Diane chirped up, “I’m sorry, many riders are new and don’t know to yield” I followed up with, “we’ve been riding bikes in the woods since the late 80’s, maybe longer as kids. We all want to use the trails – bikes, runners, horses- we just have to work together.” The woman on the second horse said, “maybe they just don’t know.” I smiled and said, “Let’s hope so, but you know I hate to say it there are assholes in every crowd!” The ladies all laughed and shook their heads in agreement. We wished them well, and they started on their way. The last woman stopped her horse next to us leaned down smiled a Cheshire cat grin, winked at us and said, “have a great ride asshole!” we all laughed as she trotted off…
thanks for reading.
