A Great Bicycling Weekend, Marred by a Bad Spill

I predicted it would be a lost weekend, and so it was.  I rode in a competitive event yesterday . . . although, to be sure, in a less than competitive manner . . . then rode again this morning, just for fun, with some hashing friends.  Sore and tired?  You bet.  But it’s a good sore and tired!

About 30 miles into the 35-mile section of yesterday’s El Tour de Tucson, a policeman held up his hand for me to stop.  I had time to get my feet out of the pedal clips, but for some reason couldn’t get my left foot out.  Boom.

Otherwise it was a great ride.  Next year our whole riding gang promises to do it.  By then I ought to be more proficient at getting in and out of pedal clips.

Anyway, it wasn’t a bad spill.  The bad spill happened today, just a couple of hours ago, on the bicycle hash.  And it happened to someone else, not me.  I’m blogging about it over at the Half-Mind Weblog.  In other words, this entry’s a plug for my other blog.  Pretty sneaky, huh?
