Finally Got Out

...and rode with some real people. People other than Bob Marley, Aldo Nova, and the guys from INXS (thanks to my mp3 player:) I read that someone, anyone, would be riding around Peterson's tonight, so I cut off "date night" and went over after work. I was happy to see Paul J. there and be able to start riding with someone for a change. I learned things about the trails around there that I never knew! There's a trail that links the South end of the west side to a gravel road? Who knew? Paul, that's who! Also, I may have known about some of the trails at Mcfarland, and may have forgotten about some of them, but it was fun to ride something that was virtually new. Free beer at Varnum's and B-Bops on the drive home couldn't have wrapped it up better. Even saw Alex out riding on trails! Rare in itself! Later!

Thanks for coming out! What a great ride it was! There hopefully will be many more to come!

That is for sure! I had a ball, but my shoulder got a real raw deal from that tree I hit! It's more like a burn than a cut because the seam on my jersey got rubbed along my skin before it tore. Oh well, scars are souvenirs you never lose! Did you hear me honk as you were riding back west?

Paul said...

No I didn't, and if I didn't hear you honk then I guess I have a hearing problem! %^) Sorry.
