a wild goose chase

this evening i attempted to take jane on one of our local loops. normally i'm just concentrating on either not falling off or trying to keep up. very rarely do i ride at the front and today it showed.

there were lots of bits of trail that i remembered, it was just the bits in between that were causing problems. having a map only made matters worse. not only that i punctured and jane had a very close call with a car at a crossing point. at least it didn't rain. in fact it was a lovely summer's evening. not sure how it turned into the worst ride ever. this may have been the 'make or break' ride....*

*for jane and biking that is!
