Parleys Canyon Riders: Shorter Days with More Colors

Shorter Days with More Colors

As the days are getting shorter, the morning rides are requiring more artificial light, which in turn requires a little MORE focus. Here is some chatter between two PCRs that proves this point.

We missed you Big Man. Prez Hale (aka tommy boy) needed you to help him find the stop sign. He was very stylish and wore his sun glasses, in the dark of morning. I know he has a bright fancy light, but it was not bright enough for him to see signs/trees. Yep, he got lost and was late. Claimed he went down a dead end street? He blamed his sun glasses. You might need a training session with PCRs on when to wear sunglasses. AT 6 am in September they do not work, but he did look really good.

Only one minor fall from Prez Hale on the way up. No injury, just dust on his kit. He reminded me the shoulder is dirt not pavement. Ha.

Ciao and have a nice day,

It is true that I missed the turn off due to wearing sunglasses. But at least mine are cool, unlike the geeky transition glasses the Prof wears. It is also true that I went down on the gravel shoulder, but that was because I was trying to protect the Prof from dangerous road conditions. And it turns out that he wanted me to ride on the edge of the road because he is afraid that a cougar, hiding in the bushes, might jump out and eat him. So he wants someone slower and bigger to ride on the edge of the road so that the cougar will hopefully be full after eating me and lose interest in the Prof or the Prof will be quick enough to escape while the cougar devours his slower and larger prey. And this guy is teaching ethics to our future business leaders??

As we begin to ride in the fall colors and shorter days, let's all remember to dress warm, be careful, meet new friends, look for new vistas and ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
