Off-Road Adventures

Narrow blacktop country road
+
50 mph speed limit
+
young woman driving a car that looks like she's going to make a left in front of me but doesn't +
accelerating to get past her before she makes the intersection
+
sharp left curve right after intersection
=
exciting ride through somebody's front yard, splitting the difference between a pine tree on the left and a telephone pole on the right, and a gentle curving left back onto the blacktop so as to avoid sinking my bike into said landowner's pond.


Bet that looked interesting if anybody was looking out the front window of the house.

Would like to have seen a helmet-cam video of that one.

Sounds like a Sunday ride with (ex)Coach Bobby Petrino. regards, Alemaster
