Friday, Aug. 24 - North Shelbourne

[Rolf]

Thinking of latching onto a regular Friday group for a bit of a Shelbourne warm-up, then jumping off and farting about in the woods a bit before heading south via trails through the middle of town, ending up at Shoal Pt. coffee.

Dawn is rapidly coming forward: only at 6:18 tomorrow. Bring good lights!

Fun ride this morning. A few notes:

• Thanks to B2(?) for letting us tag along up Shelbourne.
• Apologies for inadvertently gapping Dolly in the somewhat bewildering Bow Park.
• Reindeer is frickin' tasty. (Thanks ACE!)
• Extra kudos to Paul L. for being a sport and letting Alan continue his tradition of hazing newbies through the Birth Canal. (Paul managed it without putting a foot down. )

When big Paul started through the Birth Canal EVEN Alan* was having his misgivings:



*Note the nifty reference in this gif to Alan's look-a-like.

I invite all the newby cross riders to relive their birth. If you ever wonder what it is like to be born again, come on down...

Could one of you guys advise me whether you think the above gif is going to summon the censor monkeys from the WWVW? (Wicked Witch of Vic West, also known as Martin)

In defence of our beloved WWVW, while a little prudish, he looks plenty sexy with his riding crop,
