I haven’t posted in a bit. I cracked under the weight of too much work and not enough fun. So Bobby and I attempted to rectify the situation with a little Nederland riding. Just to show how mentally cooked I was, I left my riding shoes at home for the first time in . . . well, maybe ever. Luckily we weren’t too far from Happy Trails Bike Shop where I borrowed some rental pedals with toe clips. And extra lucky that I was wearing sneakers and not flip flops. So I was able to ride, old school style. How incredibly horrible toe clips are! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve mountain biked with them, I came oh-s0-close to going down when my wheels drifted out from under me on a loose corner and I couldn’t get my foot out . . . but I was really happy to hang on.
After the ride we Ned-itated in the woods and drank some post-ride refreshments and played with my new 85mm PC Tilt Shift lens. Don’t even think about stealing Bobby’s beer. He’ll give you the stink eye.
