oh yeah...

i was going to mention an incident on my ride today. first of all, i got lost again. i thought those days were over, but today it cost me an extra 20km. oh well, it was nice weather and its good for me. i found a great route that actually has some pretty decent single track on it and stuff, so i'll have to go back. the big joke is that it isn't well marked so you have to be very careful about seeing the trail guide markers. i missed two, doubled back and found myself again. of course, there was the matter of the 20km i just mentioned, so it wasn't all success.
but my scare of the day was on the way home. i saw two people walking with their horse on a lead. i thought nothing of it except to stay out of the way of its hind hooves....but when i passed, the horse freaked out!! he started rearing and whinnying and stuff and i felt so bad. i stopped to see if they needed help getting him calmed down again...and the horse looked at me with his one eye, as if i had insulted him deeply. so tempermental. what a dick. so i ditched. but it was really scary. just another day on the trail i guess. i also saw some wild cows and a pigeon with a bite out of it. that's it for wild life.
