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

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

    Yeah but

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 )

    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. I have green bruise on my hand from getting annoyed that the remote wasn't working and somehow banging my hand with it. Oy!
