I will kidnap Jim Harker and go to Ocala this Sunday September 16 for a NON-spirited ride. Tagged bikes only. Get together in Salt Springs, but no time yet. No idea about the itinerary. If Mundy comes with, we will just follow his tracks and smoke signals.

"Tour-de-medium-slow" in Ocala NF on Sunday. Tagged bikes only. Mundy will lead us to some "good areas". (I wonder what he means by that ). Get-together at 8am at the Huddle House in Palatka. Please call Mundy to confirm. 904-465-2013 Jim Harker and I will be there. We'll try to keep the tires full of air, the wheels attached to the bikes etc.etc.etc. But it is a lot to remember all at once!!!

Never? Oh come on! You must be kidding! With all the years of riding with His Grumpiness?? It is all in the camera angles?? We launched the bikes at Salt Springs, a little bit of pavement and then went south. You can follow the itinerary on the gps map in my posting. Jim Harker has it all on a gps file and can email it to you. We are trying to absorb His Grumpiness' knowledge before he departs to Snooki-land. (Uh oh, why I have the feeling there is going to be hell to pay for the Snooki-land comment? )

Mundy's Merry Fellows (well, the Fellows are merry, ok? Mundy... I do not know) will ride in Ocala this Sunday September 23.
A mellow, lolly-gagging type of ride. Jim Harker said he wants to "stay in his happy zone". And for myself, I would not know how to get out of my "happy zone".
Tagged bikes are invited to come along and ride in Mundy's "happy zone". (It is lonely at the top.... ;D ;D ;D)

Another lovely ride in Ocala today. This week’s rain had made the sand a little friendlier for “those” in the group who can’t ride in the sand (or anywhere else really, but that is another subject). Mark C joined the group, thus lowering considerably the average age. Last weekend it was 57. It must be said that riding slowly on sand requires a level of skill, maturity, experience and lack of self-preservation that comes only with age…. Mark’s youth was a large handicap, but he did well, considering. We had a beautiful ride and the sand had been made better by last week’s rain. It was really almost rideable by your Queen of Slow. I dog paddled for less than ten miles overall, which is a record for me. Today the topic of Professor Murzic’ lesson to was two fold. First, how to ride a bike with a Rekluse clutch. He started by saying: “I don’t know s*** about Rekluse clutches, BUT you are destroying yours”. Wow, what an opening. Ignorance and disaster all in the same sentence. He had my full attention right there. The second subject was logs, logs and more logs. All I can say is….logs 2, Giovanna 0. But my clavicles, femurs and other assorted bones are still where they are supposed to be, so all is well. Only casualty my cargo pants, ripped beyond redemption. (On the positive side, ventilation was much improved). I thought we had those lessons already in Osceola, but these are OCALA logs.. all different. Some coming, and going, and coming again…. Say Mundy, haven’t we been here already? I suspect he was trying to teach Jim Harker the “Mundy maneuver” but Jim was not buying it. No siree. Ok, this is how it is done. First, a moment of reflection. Meditate. Psyche yourself up. Then go down on your knees and pray the KTM God. Got it so far? And here comes the exciting part. This is called “the double cross” obstacle. It seems easy, but it is very deceiving. See Mark, this is how it is done. Ok Mark, now you do it. Ready? Go! Whew! That was tiring! Thank you guys for another day of fun riding, and thanks for watching out for me!

The weekend of November 3 and 4 is going to be "DARK". ;D
= no hunting
= last opportunity for bullet-free riding for the next couple of months.
Weather permitting, we are planning a very mellow/sorta boring ride in Osceola (still flooded) on Saturday 3. Forest roads.
A ride in Ocala led by Jum Harker on Sunday 4. South of Salt Springs. More interesting trails. Tagged bikes only.
Anybody interested, please contact Jim for times and meeting place.

Sorry Mike, I did not see your post.
I cannot tell you about the "swim" because I was not there when it happened. You will have to ask Jim Harker at the next meeting (wink wink nudge nudge).
Thanks to Don's loving care, massages, aromatherapy, chocolates, prayers, soft music yada yada the Pumpkin is fine.
Tom Horton rode her in Ocala last weekend. Another "red" guy succumbing to the "orange" disease...
