This is not a laughing matter

[Aggie_Ama]

My husband is going riding with a customer he met through his work that is also an avid mountain biker and racer. The guy is taking him to a new trail my husband has never rode, so I looked it up and could not stop laughing as I read him the description. He said he no longer had time to talk on his lunch break. I guess I don't win any wife of the year awards for that one.

"Thumper got its name from the thumping that your heart will be doing after you are done. Up. Down. Repeat. A lot. This is a technical trail that was built by people who must like to inflict pain on others. While it is a relatively short trail, it is very difficult in many spots, similar to "rattlesnake" or "Ed's Bowl" on the greenbelt. Lots of switchbacks help riders ascend and descend through the trail. A favorite seems to be the steep switchback, sharp turn at the top, followed by a 12" ledge about 3 feet later. If this trail doesn't get your heart going, nothing will."

and

"High. This is NOT a trail for beginners. Not only is it a challenging trail with some pretty hairy lines to ride, but the traffic is very light. If you mess up it could be a few days before someone stumbles across you."

As long as hubby rides with his friend, he will not be lost!

It is after dark and I haven't heard from him. I will assume he is grabbing a beer with the new friends and not bleeding with them not knowing who to call.

send him a text message "did your survive?"

send him a text message "did your survive?"

I did, no response yet. If his new buddies are like him they probably didn't pay attention to time and are heading back to their cars now even though it was dark 20 minutes ago!

yes it is getting dark now earlier Last night I was running... and at 7:45pm it was dark, and I found myself taking the street route vs the trail route cause it was too dark for the woods

My boyfriend just got hooked up with a new running group on Tuesday's. So on Tuesday's I await his message/story of how fast this group is and how he got dropped at nth mile, etc, etc... but one day he is not going to get dropped!!, and then I will be the slower runner of us both!! Dang, if I only I could get off work in time to get to this group.. he is soon going to run faster than me... and I am not sure if that is acceptable!!, LOL!!

I know him so well, he is eating a burger and having a beer. I can't wait to hear how it went, he doesn't have any mountain biking buddies here except me and a friend of ours who is flaky because he has about 12 hobbies.
