You're not gonna try and ride across the bay down by the Dumbarton Bridge?

I like your story better than mine. Last week I drank just a few cask-strength bourbons in Lousiville. Found myself sweating out the residues on a bike ride a couple of days later. While riding last weekend, a bumble bee or big hornet slammed into my leg, probably assumed I was slapping him and stung me before I could knock him off. Even with my motrin, the welt was the size of a silver dollar and ringed in a black contusion. Healed up after a couple of days, though.

Good stories, buds! Thanks for sharing. Last weekend I did the at-least-once-annually canoe camping trip in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. It's a happy place for me, since my pops took me there plenty when I was a young tyke. Lots of good adventures from that time that I won't soon forget and that I like to revisit. Sadly, no roads in there so no cycling opportunities. With a mess of gear and a 75lb Lab, there's not much extra room in the canoe for a bike anyways.

Hey All, When I was a kid I had the great good fortune to grow up in a house at the very end of a long road that backed up to at least a million acres. I would walk out into that stuff for no good reason but to be there. I S24O'd on a regular basis. Get home in the early morning and you even got breakfast. I kept the lever gun I carried on those walks. I sold all the other guns except a revolver. But I kept the Winchester. It's all beat up from spending the nights in the wet grass next to my bed roll and spends it's idle time in my son's room (no ammo). Then I walked into Livermore Cyclery and saw a MTB. The rest of the story is obvious. Camping in your own 'backyard' is often better than traveling 200 miles and then camping in some other dude's backyard. I hope the OP had a wonderful experience. And great to do it with your kid. My Pop never came along. Not once. Not ever. But good that he cut me loose to do my own thing. It would have been better had he been there but that is something your son will never know. Hurrah!

It's a dilemma: you have to be smart enough to figure out an adventure, then dumb enough to do it anyway! dougP On Monday, August 10, 2015 at 2:48:29 PM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: The adventure is often in being dumb enough to go!
