Biking and Motorcycling

 Yesterday the Kadizzles rode the ebikes up a canyon. The first part was difficult and we had to push the bikes up parts of the trail strewn with boulders. However, the trail became nice and we had a good ride. 

Later in the day Kadizzle got sucked into a black hole on the motorcycle. He should have known better. It was the usual fit of stupidity. It was just going to be a little ride down to the lake. Then, why not go up Peach Orchard Trail. Well, why not go a little farther and explore. Then a little farther, and farther. Suddenly the what if brain starts to work. Way out on a Forest Service Road Kadizzle begins to realize he has done the usual. He is riding with no helmet, and no good protection. 

The big problem with riding unknown roads is you can go down a steep rocky slope, and then realize you cannot get back up. The only solution is to keep going. The keep going is the nerve racking part, because if you keep going and get somewhere that you cannot go up you are in a hell of a mess because now you are trapped between two places you cannot go up. Fortunately Kadizzle never got trapped yesterday and had a fairly good ride. No question he is a slow learner.
