Today's High and Low

OK, first the low...

Finished the ride down Monticello and decided to take this lake trail in
Saunders-Mont. Park. It looked great:

(note, large file, but suitable for wallpaper. (1544x1024), imo.)

As I come around the bend the "road" is deteriorating, and I'm bumping
along (setting up the excuse), and it kind of abruptly goes up to the
highway, and I wanted to either go around it, or go back up to the crushed
granite section and then to the car.

So at the point where you see that little orange tree in the upper left
corner, I decide to ride up on the grass and circle the tree and have a
U-turn. Fortunately, I'm going like 1mph, b/c as soon as I turn the
handlebars, I fall over like the guy from laugh-in (Arte Johnson), on his
tricycle (hidden bank cut blocked the wheel). D'oh. At that point, I'm
thinking 'yeranidiot...but at least nobody saw you'. Then my right calf
starts to cramp. Not the calf, but the little muscle that pulls your foot
into a blade, toe up.

As I'm lying there like a demented turtle, I look up and there this long
line of cars going up Rt 56 looking right at me...like I'm the carnival
attraction.

Don't you just hate it when others witness some of these eventsg

It looks like a good place to ride.
