He said he wanted to show me something and that he knew the way. Things happened differently than expected. Saturday’s ride was a series of unpleasant and poorly considered decisions that resulted in a hard-fought victory for Mystery and me. The day itself held significance as both the day of the Felasco 50, but more importantly it was Elvis’ birthday. Not a day for a lap around the standard trails. A statement was needed. Besides, I felt like I could take anything he could conjure up and still be riding tall at the end of the day. That’s pretty much what happened.
My attorney recommends against any discussion of the route, especially any mention of 10 ft. tall fences, ankle deep mud, or the smilac maze. I can say that we didn’t see a proper trail until hour 3 of the ride.
We didn’t get 50 miles, but we got the suffering of 100.
How as your weekend?

We hammered our crotches into hamburger by riding on national forest roads for 8 hours. On the up side we had a lovely lunch of fried mullet in Sumatra at the Coastal Family Restaurant (“Family” = no alcohol served, ever).
Wow. Hamburger crotch sounds delightful.
wish I was there. Felasco was good, me and mini me did 37 miles but I like the kind of ride you didn’t talk about.
I like the Elvis’s birthday part.
I said, ‘Take it easy, baby
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails
Flyin’ all over the place
And the sweat poppin’ out of my head’
She said, ‘Hey, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on a workin’ for
This ain’t no time to quit’
She said, ‘Go, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin’
I’m about to have myself a fit’
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
I said, ‘Hey little mama,
Let’s sit down
Have a drink and dig the band’
She said, ‘Drink, drink, drink
Oh, fiddle-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand’
She said ‘Hey Bossa nova, baby
Keep on workin’ for
This ain’t no time to drink’
She said ‘Go, Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin’
‘Cause I ain’t got time to think’
I said, ‘Come on, baby
It’s hot in here
And it’s oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar
I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride’
She said, ‘Hey Bossa nova, baby
Keep on workin’ for I ain’t got time for that’
She said, ‘Go Bossa nova, baby
Keep on dancin’
Or I’ll find myself another cat’
Hold the cheese
