What an awesome day.....

Well i finally got around to planning a ride with some friends for sunday morning, and it was autumns first time to go on a GUY's Mountain bike ride. I had most of the route planned out in my head, some of our favourite trails, with some connecting trails in between. It was going to give use a full loop around birdshill park with very little exposure to pavement. But due to the cooler weather and sick family members everyone bailed on us at the last minute.

But the ride would go on, it started out great challenging and fun and was coming together so nicely. Then we came across a few water holes i suggested to autumn to come over to the side of the trail incase it was deep, but she went for the middle and made it though, so when i suggested it again for the second water hole there was no way she wasn't going to go for it, as i rode though the shallow water on the side i saw her feet going deeper with every crank of the pedals, then she lost motion as her back wheel just spin in place, then the slow motion fall as she struggled to unclip from her pedals but it was to late as she splashed her entire body into the water, I busted a gut instantly.

Any other day we could have kept riding but at only 8 above freezing we made our way back to the truck and will plan another day to make this loop work. But i think i may have my new favourite picture of autumn, I couldn't look at her with out smiling or laughing all day. Still am as i type this now.
