Today's ride was about 80 miles. It was an intermediate ride. Beautiful fall leaves, wide trail, more dust, tall steep mountains, lots of rocks and friendly riders. About a third of the way through we had some stream crossings. WATER!!! I love to splash in the water. I lifted my feet up and plowed through throwing water every where. It was GREAT!!! Second crossing, feet up, water flying, hidden rock, suddenly I was off balance, gave the bike lots of throttle right towards the rocky mountain, then I saw the sky. That's the sign time to let go. Michael said he turned around just in time to see me and the bike flying towards the mountain side. I landed, the bike landed, upside down of course. I'm fine, the bike has a few bruises. The seat came off, Michael put it back on. The handle bars were bent, he fixed those too! And at lunch, after a closer look he determined I bent the frame. But it was a great ride. Two more stream crossings and I kept my feet where they belonged, still fun.
Back at camp we both got off our bikes to survey how much of the mountain we were wearing. I told him I was having a shower before dinner.
I miss you all. Heading home tomorrow. I need new shoes, they didn't survive the incident very well. Love you all, mom

Hope you are feeling refreshed after your vacation.... Next week is pretty booked up. I had to change my early morning from 4am to 3 am. Still not getting enough done. I had Dusty working till 11 one night.
Poor Gram needs a vacation now!!!
Dave went to give me a hug. I thought I was unscathed until he touched me. My back side is a black and blue mess. No loss of range of motion so it'll all heal. Be back to work tomorrow.
