Is the tree all right?



'Hit 2 trees today.



A sapling (doesn't sound macho enough) skinny (nope) young tree with great growth potential. This time though, I made sure Freddy snapped a pic.





"Is the tree all right?" he asked with some concern.





The 2nd time. Don't ask me how I managed to unclip from the pedals and leave Cloe (the bike) standing there. It's called talent. (Actually, Cloe unclipped herself from me and I kept going, flying sideways into the bushes. Yeah, that's it.)

Today is one of those days I am glad I am not on Shimano SPDs. I would have been satay / shish kebab (see below).

I also got snagged by rattan. Now that hurt.

Freddy came to the rescue (again). Freddy is so nice. Ride with Freddy. Don't ride with me. I only send thunder, lightning, and rain to those around me  :-P

But seriously, thanks, Freddy  ^ _ ^

I recommend you get rid of the toe clips, but maybe that's just me.

Ah, I gave up toe clips a long time ago. I love the Crank Brothers Eggbeaters. Their functionality remain unaffected by mud, unlike Shimano SPDs. Too bad about the short life of their cleats though.
