Ganaraska Muffin and Bailey's Ride - Dec 03


So there we were ready to try a new trail in Ganaraska....off we go in a great line of adventurers and lil' jonny here gets maybe 3m and my free hub blows.....I was quite prepared to sit in the car and read my Globe and Mail waiting the 2 or 3 hours for the gang to come back but lo and behold they all came back within 10 min. Robert decided that he could fix the bike at his house which was only a few km away. So we sped off in the car while the gang kept riding the trails led by Big G Sue. The bike did not willingly allow itself to be fixed but Robert was able to us an old hub to get me on the trails again. YeeeeeeeHaw! By the time we met up with the crew they were beat. We all rode back to the parking lot for food and refreshments. At this time my glasses came apart and so as I blindly watched, Monique and Robert managed to put my 'eyes' back together. This was becoming too exciting a day for me but the skies were darkening and in a short time we had to bid goodby to our tired mates. Adam, Robert , Monique and I headed back to Roberts home before the darkness set in but as fast as we were riding, darkness rode faster. it was just before the true darkness set in that my pivot pin broke on the bike. Luckily I had a good wad of Duct tape and was able to tape the pin in place and continue riding. Most interesting adventure.
