ATTACK OF THE ARTICHOKES
THE FIRST WHACK WAS TO MY RIGHT FOREARM. A little blood drawn. The next was on my left elbow. More red stuff. Followed by a direct hit to my right knuckles. Right through my superlight gloves. The final attempt would been the worst, right in the face but I ducked just in time.
It'a artichoke thistle time.
And they're out in force.
'Not sure I've ever it seen this bad.
I don't mind it much.
I mean, if ya ain't bleeding ya ain't trying when it comes to MTB riding. And trust me there are plenty of opportunities to bleed around here.
Could they be avoided, sure if I slowed down.
Where's the fun in that?
What's fun is ripping around after a long day working, when it's cooled down some...
... with a firm grip via my superlight gloves.
