Skipped a whole month, for shame, for shame.
What have I been up to. Well, pretty much the regular, ride my bike, read, eat and sleep. There have been a couple of hickups to my routine the main one being taken down by a dog while on a ride.
I don't fret dogs much, I've encountered all kinds, but this one was something else. Jerry, Roger and I were rolling along downhill, maybe 13 mph and out of nowhere comes this dog from a house on the right side of the road, we couldn't see it. It comes blazing fast and I never saw it until it hit my bike right between the front fender and the downtube.
I went down on the pavement, it was rough. Luckily nothing broken but some pretty good road rash and several sore spots. As I write this I'm fine, recovered except for that small residual amount that never returns.
Since it's been so hot out I've been getting in some of my riding indoors, no chance of dog knocking me down indoors.
I may put up a few pics later, and I'm going to try and post a little bit more, we'll see how that goes.
