Then there is a lady rider whom we call, "The lady who looks like a man."

Truly, she does.

She rides regularly, and at times I talk with her. This year she hired a "trainer" to help her increase her speed. She is NOT very fast, but rides an expensive litespeed and has two different of the very best poseur lycra matching outfits.

She started riding with a lady friend, sort of giving me a clue about her sexual preferences. One day I talked to her "friend" and the friend told me all about her husband, once again blowing my stupid assumptions out of the water!

And, this year I discovered that the lady who looks like a man smokes. A lot. So, here she is spending money to hire a trainer to go faster, and then lighting up at the end of a run!!

And her lady friend told me that she and her husband had tried their very best to get her to stop, to no avail. And I tried, again with no success.

Well, anyway, we have a pretty interesting trail system!
