Soggy Saturday

A soggy "early winter" ride in the waning days of August. Exploration ride of Ft. Lewis area off of the Yelm Hway by the Nisqually reservation. Lots of nice double track, a few decent hills, but no single track discovered. High potential for spouse rides. See the ride here.

Sunriver Trip & Riding

One of your editors (Mtn-Biker Man) just returned from a week of relaxation and glorious riding at Sunriver, OR area. Our family stayed at a place right on the Deschutes River. Floated the river some. Rode a lot more than anything else.

Editor’s wife tried out a new Giant Yukon FX (4” full suspension) and she liked its all-mountain performance very much. Great trip, even better riding!

Oh, and wonderful time with the family (including mom and dad up from CA). Every biker-dude should have a like experience

While Riding Through A Park . . .

Sometimes, it’s hard to know what this world is coming to. Everyday the news brings a new boundary that’s been crossed -- a new taboo breached -- a new convention that has been trampled underfoot.
Recently in Sweden, a 50 year old man was innocently riding his bike through the park when he was horribly and disgustingly violated. As he was enjoying his bike ride, someone grabbed the basket on the back and pulled the bike to the ground. Turning to see who might have done such a thing he realized that it was a ruffian gang of women sporting tattoos.

These women proceeded to hold him down on the ground, remove his pants and underwear and then sexually do things to him. After having had their way with him, the women then quickly ran off leaving the man unable to pursue. As of this writing they remain at large, doubtlessly lying in wait for their next unsuspecting victim.
Back in my day, I remember when being sexually assaulted by a gang of women was the purview of adolescent boys who might let their imagination do unrest. (We only heard there were also a few magazines that explored this issue but it was only ever dealt with in literature.)

Anyway, the victim provided the police with a description of his attackers featuring the 5′ 7″ woman with tattoos on her forearms who actually grabbed his basket first. It is hoped that this information might be used help bring these ruthless and unmerciful succubi (def. -- in medieval times, a deviant woman that was believed to have sexual ********** with men while they were asleep) to justice.

Before anyone else gets hurt, it might be time to step in and take direct action on this. Maybe we should all start an organization of like-minded middle-aged men who might regularly patrol parks and pathways and act as lures to bring women like these out of hiding. It sounds like the perpetrators have perfected their getaway technique but these men would simply need to understand that they might be repeatedly subjecting themselves to this degradation until these disgusting perverts are finally brought to justice.

We’re open to accepting donations to begin founding this type of organization. Please notify us if you’re interested. Since the funds will be lacking at first, we might have to undertake this task alone for a while. Please wish us Godspeed.

Chinooks Fly Fire Maneuvers Over Biking Route

While doing LSDs (long, slower, distances) today we came within 200-250' of Chinooks doing fire prevention over dry meadow areas. One flew directly overhead within 75-100' with the water bucket and we feared / thought they were going to drop its contents but they were nice and didn't. The "rotor wash" pushed water out of the bucket like rain and the bucket was the size of a small import car (at least the size of a VW bug).

Today's ride was from Rainier Rd to Yelm and back in 90°. Yowser!
