[aka_kim]

Oh.My.God! :D

The Bobs are lookin' good.

[SadieKate]

And you've run out of excuses . . . . :)

[aka_kim]

Isn't it snowing in Bendemonium right about now?

[crazycanuck]

YAY!!! The bob's are doin dirt :cool:

Mmm..dirt..

[Trekhawk]

Well done Bob family.:)
I knew you would hear the dirt calling you sooner or later.
Love the pics.

[maillotpois]

Wow!! I am impressed!!!

[Veronica]

Looks like you had a fun time. Maybe there will be mountain bikes under your Christmas tree. :p

You should see the bruises along the outside (and inside!) of my left leg when I tipped over onto a bunch of rocks. Far be it from me to tip over onto soft ground, noooo.

Said bruises are seriously huge and technicolor today. Were it not for my innate modesty and TMI sensibilities I'd post a photo. But LeeBob surveyed them this morning and decreed them Waaaay Coool. :cool:

See gang, I've told you all along, I bruise so freakin' easily that I am not suited for this mtn biking stuff. And I have a whole left leg to prove it!!!

That said, it was a lot of fun.

[jobob]

Lookit how svelte my husband has become*! I'm so proud of him! (and so annoyed at my dumpy self).

(*he's the one in the photo with the mountain and the blue wool-clad blob next to him :D )

[Aggie_Ama]

Eh, I bruise from someone looking at me wrong. Every mountain biking trip whether I fall or not I get a bruise. I bruise myself with the dang pedals sometimes!

Looks like you had fun, come on over to the dirty side. :p

[Zen]

I'm sure I saw Bigfoot in that video...

[SadieKate]

Would that be the size 15's riding an orange Yeti?

[Biciclista]

wow, he IS big. Who is he?

nice shots, looks like fun. I want to see the bruise.

[SadieKate]

Just a friend of ours. He's 6'7". His runt of a fraternal twin brother is only 6'5'. He's referred to as the Spag-Yeti of the two as he's also slimmer.

[Aggie_Ama]

Tall people frighten me. DH is 6'2", I think he is a giant compared to all 5'2" of me. We used to have a customer at Lowe's that was 6'13". Yes that is how he said it because 7'1" sounded so awful to him. It made my neck hurt to talk to him when he came to my register but he was a really nice man and no he never played basketball. :p

[Zen]

Oh my! I was just kidding. I didn't see him :o

[jobob]

Reminds me of my niece, who at 6'2" was often asked if she played basketball or volleyball.

And she'd inevitably reply "No, do you play miniature golf?".


- jobob, so proud of her wizeazz niece. :cool:

LOL!! I play miniature golf but not professionally. Clever niece you got there. People used to ask me if I was an albino because I am quite fair skinned, I could never think of anything that clever but usually just told them to STFU. :p

How about "No. Are you a moron?"

[fatbottomedgurl]

Welcome to the dark side Sadie Kate! So Bendemonium- would that be where Phil's trail is? Because if so I was up there this summer and fun fun fun! Especially the trail with two miles of whoop dee doos.

[SadieKate]

Don't welcome me! Been there since the early 80s. Welcome Jobob. She's the slow one.:p

We took them to Peterson Ridge in Sisters since its the easiest around. We're saving the Whoops for later.

[Zen]

wow, he IS big.
Nah. He's only 5'9".
They're just very, very tiny :D

[jobob]

Eh, I bruise from someone looking at me wrong. Oh Ama that's just excellent, may I borrow it?

And for Mimi and all the rest of you curious types, here's how my leg looks this morning, four days later, in all it's black & purple and greenish glory (link only, to spare those who care not to know :p )

[Aggie_Ama]

Yes, feel free to use that any time.

Good lord I have had those technicolor bruises. And I usually get them from something very mild. I am pretty bruised from falling over on a steep hill Sunday. No high speed, no glorious crash just fell over trying to dismount and walk up the hill. :rolleyes: I have green bruise on my hand from getting annoyed that the remote wasn't working and somehow banging my hand with it. Oy!

[Veronica]

That's nasty looking. Are you sure you weren't in a fight? :D

[Zen]

I once had a bruise like that on me bum and hip. i don't recall it being painful, though.
Yours is SPECTACULAR!

[jobob]

Thanks gang! I'm perversely proud of it.

It hurt like the dickens when it happened but it calmed down to a dull ache very soon after - enough for me to continue the ride with a minimum of whining.

Now its just a bit sore when I put any pressure on it - so I can't lay on my left side, or do the side kick series on that side in my pilates mat class. And I get in & out of the car a bit gingerly.

But luckily my back and hip and butt were spared so sitting is not a problem. :p

[snapdragen]

Damn, those are some brilliant bruises jobob!:eek:

[Ninabike]

Hey Jobob, Beautiful colors!! Try putting some Arnica gel on them. It might be a little late, but Arnica has worked wonders for me. You can get it at Whole Foods or at a health food type store.

[melissam]

Great job, Jobob!!

I nominate it for the Bruise Hall of Fame. :cool:

[jobob]

I showed the picture to a co-worker and after she was done freaking out over it she told me the colors reminded her of an Arizona sunset.

:o

[yellow]

:D :D :D :D

That's all I'm sayin'!

That, and I'm planning a reunion movie on the trails around Bend, Oregon, in 2009...

[Trekhawk]

:o

LOL - mate that is one hell of a bruise. I'm impressed.:D

[sgtiger]

Woohoo, jobob! You look great out on the trails.:cool: Wow, your leg looks like its in technicolor.:p

[aka_kim]

Yours is SPECTACULAR!I'm having a Seinfeld moment... but yes, those bruises are spectacular!

[tprevost]

Lookit how svelte my husband has become*! I'm so proud of him! (and so annoyed at my dumpy self).

You both look Great! Looks like you had a fun time and your bruises are very impressive! Mtn biking is awesome!

:p

[Zen]

And real ;)

[Aggie_Ama]

Bruise hall of fame for Jobob! :D:p

[SadieKate]

I was going to ask how many mountain bikes you bought this weekend, but I'm a most excellent stalker. ;)

+1 for Arnica.

[jobob]

I guess you could call me a hot chick on a Stumpy now. :cool:
