1 + 1 = 1

Man, there are some days when you and the bike become ONE!

Today was one of those days. Moving and pulsing together - a symphony - no hill I can't conquer, no curve I can't lay the bike on its side and swift around - like it must feel to ride a great horse.

That is when clipless really shines, IMHO. It welds you into ONE unit.

What a great ride this am. Sometimes I get that feeling and sometimes I don't.

Today was spectacular!

And we had the pleasure of watching a doe try to teach her fawn to jump about a 5 foot fence.

Ths doe jumped the fence so beautifully and gracefully, the fawn would not follow, examining the fence for a lower spot. The doe jumped back, and then jumped again, this time running off into the field, as if the fawn must follow her, but the fawn hesitated and would not jump, repeated a 3rd time with the fawn saying "no" and finally another biker scaring himself and the fawn nearly to death as they almost collided and the fawn running back into the foliage. Soon the doe jumped the fence one more time and followed, looking for her fawn! A true serendipity!
