Old School Grand Master
The only time my wheels leave the ground is when I lift the bike into the back of the car.
I spent 40 years trying to keep my (26 then 27.5 then 29) wheels on the ground. Then when the Grom was ten he started jumping. He coaches me now. Ok says he ‘just stand up to the jump’ and in he goes and gapow…like an uncoiled spring he’s over a metre off the ground. Ok ok here I go … in fast … and flooopp …. Maybe 10cms. Ok he says … we’ll continue to work on that….The only time my wheels leave the ground is when I lift the bike into the back of the car.
Boy what a gorgeous photo - should have some bucolic music playing - Vaughan Williams or ElgarAnother ride today on a familiar route. It never gets boring as there's always something different to see. Plus I am lucky enough to be able to choose a different bike . Today - damselflies, loads of them, flying in front of me as I rode, battling with each other, I presume they were hoping other insects would take flight as I approached and they could eat them who knows?
Anyway, the park is always quiet around 6pm on a Sunday - it is a lovely place to be.
