Saturdays ride

Well g'day all and how's it going? Headed out to our beloved Lysterfield today, for a ride.
After the usual bakery binge, hit the park for a journey of epic proportions. Well maybe not so epic.
After an hour or so of hill and dale, came across two riders on Buckle tk. One was literally 'on the track', as he had come round a sandy left hander, slid out, and decided to part company with his bike,(a hybrid mongoose with road tyres). The tree he was lying at the base of, I think, was what had stopped his forward momentum. Thus his nose was looking like 10 rounds with Tyson, and the piece of tree( twig) in his right thigh, was only slightly blocking the flow of blood oozing out.
Oozing, what a great word.
It was the guys first mtb ride. What a way to start. Graham knew the rider who didnt crash, and the guy on the track was his father in law. If your going to get rid of your father in law, I dont think this is the way to do it. Too public.
Followed em back to their car, stopping every now and then for a rest.
Straight to casualty.
Rest of the ride was great, and Ive found out why Graham lets me ride the tracks first.
spiderwebs
Yep those webs got all over me today. Not to mention their not so little inhabitants. Ow I spose I just did mentioned them.
But all in all, it was a great day out. I will keep our wounded fellow rider in my prayers.
Bless all, Dave W.
