Reminded me about what happened on one of my rides a couple weeks ago.

I was about 3/4 of a way through a 25 mile ride that had been mostly into a steady 13mph head wind--and I was on my Hybrid bike

I had finally turned the corner and had the wind at my back and was zipping along about 15mph when I passed what I thought was an upturned turtle on the side of the road. I went by so fast that I only got a quick glance. It didn't really occur to me for a second or two what it was--then I thought "well, it's gotta already be dead, so why go back" so I kept pedaling.

I got about 1.5 miles down the road and just was racked with guilt! I had to go back. Of course, that meant heading INTO the wind again for that 1.5 miles.

Finally got to where I had spotted it, got off the bike, walked over to help that poor upturned turtle and discovered that ...

it was a mushroom.
