ParticipantThat’s just hurtful, dbb. You know I’d be so distracted by the choices that I’d never actually get anywhere.

Righteous.Not so sure about the butt kicking part but it was a treat to ride and talk paddling with you this morning!
April 20, 2015 at 10:24 pm #1028469ParticipantIt was fun. And, I take running into you just as I hopped onto the trail as a sign from God that I’m supposed to go get a righteous kayak.

ParticipantCYCLIST: You yellas call this a storm. Back home we have real storms. Why, did I eva tell you ’bout the story of Pecos Bill? I tell ya, everyone in the West knows that Pecos Bill could ride anything. No bronco could throw him, no sir! Fact is, I only heard of Bill getting’ throwed once in his whole career as a cowboy. Yep, it was that time he was up Arkansas way and decided to ride him a tornado. Now Bill wasn’t gonna ride jest any tornado, no ma’am. He waited for the biggest gol-durned tornado you ever saw. It was turning the sky black and green, and roaring so loud it woke up the farmers away over in China. Well, Bill jest grabbed that there tornado, pushed it to the ground and jumped on its back. The tornado whipped and whirled and sidewinded and generally cussed its bad luck all the way down to Texas. Tied the rivers into knots, flattened all the forests so bad they had to rename one place the Staked Plains. But Bill jest rode along all calm-like, give it an occasional jab with his spurs. Finally, that tornado decided it wasn’t getting this cowboy off its back no-how. So it headed west to California and jest rained itself out. Made so much water it washed out the Grand Canyon. That tornado was down to practically nothing when Bill finally fell off. He hit the ground so hard it sank below sea level. Folks call the spot Death Valley.
ME: Whatever you say, Powerul Pete. Aint no one gonna believe you are native from Arkansas.
CYCLIST: Ciao Bella!

ParticipantIt didn’t quite go that way. But yes, some of the talk on the forums this pm was a wee bit overblown… we need more tornado warnings to bring things into perspective.
On a different note, it was a pleasure riding with you this evening Mr. Rcannon100. And thanks for the Bluemont Junction shortcut…
The wind and lashing rain was certainly… windy and wet. Beyond a possible dead iphone from water damage, all is well and another fun commute in the books.
And Cyndi, we could have certainly used your kayak for about 15 minutes this evening… if it came equipped with a sail we would have set a new speed record on Lee Highway too.
April 21, 2015 at 12:43 pm #1028493ParticipantI almost ran Powerful Pete over driving my kid to school. But he blasted my car with his ray gun and turned it into Nutella.

Too late for last night, I know, but for next time, a ziplock bag is great for protecting the phone in the rain: weighs practically nothing, is totally transparent, and the best part is that the touch screen works through the bag. Mine will even read my fingerprint through the plastic.
April 21, 2015 at 1:44 pm #1028511ParticipantYup. I almost always carry a ziplock for my phone. 😮

I always carry at least 2 Ziplocs for phone, wallet, etc., and a variety of other bags in my backpack to cover any contingency.

ParticipantI also throw a grocery bag in my stuff pannier, to cover my seat when it’s raining (or when it has rained and I forgot to cover my seat).

ParticipantAnother forum member completely misses my waving, calling his name, hand out for a low five greeting… yes Dismal, you are now on my list of those that shall not be greeted by my glowing personality (and shiny head) anymore…. and I know it was you, because there was a big black storm cloud following you and I tasted metal in my mouth when we passed.

ParticipantOnce again, people are expecting me to pay attention while riding.

Oh, like you’ve never left certain forum members hanging.

Dismal had his pride wounded when some pregnant lady pulled up behind him on the TR Bridge, then tried to escape by riding away at full speed. Little did he know I was turning anyway…
