What does your day look like?

Went with Mrs for a visit to the dentist.

I sat there quietly in the sympathy chair just wondering exactly how many Yeti and SC's that he must own and where does he ride. Does he ask for factory BMW roof racks on the M3 or prefer a more expensive professional European cycling team roof rack with CF air deflectors :cool:

This is where dreams are fulfiled folks....

Now today is a different kind of adventure. Being I'm a bit of an idiot I am on train heading towards a bad idea...3 nights away with an ex I haven't seen for nearly 4 years because she wanted to "have some fun". Sigh.

This was a bad idea, wrapped in a good idea.
 
Well I had a rather big day on the bike. Jumped a train to Wyong and rode up to the top of the ourimbah trails. Spent a fruitless chunk of time trying to nail the only diet jump up there I felt was within my range, which is smaller but steeper than the big line at my regular. I need to get back there a bit more regularly and work this out because it was really fucking with me and should have been a piece of piss. The whole line is really well constructed and looks sick. Added on some laps of the rocky section of gravitron which put the scout to the test and some repeats on the berm section down to the fun stuff at the bottom. Railed the wall ride down there which was a lot of fun. Then raced the sunset back into tuggerah on the sketchy busy road. Got home and legs are a bit cooked but...gotta eat, so chose a pub at the top of the hill.

My parents thought it would be a good idea to send teenage poodle to a school that was over an hour's unsupervised train ride each direction for the first 3 years of high school in the 90s. There is a lot of misadventure.



Also not that ong ago I did ride my bike off one of the newer trains used between Newcastle and Sydney onto a crowded platform. I thought it was pretty funny, nobody else did. Out of the vestibule, mini wheelie through the wide open doors, and along the platform. It all seemed so simple...

Geeez, five year old kids can ride the trains to and from school in Japan without any wacky events. I have to blame Newcastle.

Elite skillz until the heavy handed transit police gestapo are in pursuit. Don't take an SS, you need big gears to gun it to freedom.

some of my best memories are from hanging out the open doors of a red rattlers on the way home from school and avoiding obstacles as a 9 year old. and still knowing this i feel nervous when the kids go out on their own.

I have a fond memories of the red rattlers too. Those springly green seats and the buckets of sweat from being stuck to them in summer. The loose ratchety windows also gave you something to listen to. Didn't get to commute on them as kid though.

Parents seems to go with that any outside time will kill them these days. Can't say it is a bad idea overall and I get it, but just how things seems to have evolved. We used to think it was a good idea to go ride bikes in the stormwater drains because algae in the canal was fun to do crazy skidz or ride skateboards down steep hills till you got the death wobbles and skin loss wasn't far away. We brought it on ourselves.
