    For the bike boys....Bo and Tri,,,,

    Was out to the gym practicing some moves today on the bike.

    Good thing I had a stunt double.

    That kind of skillz does not come easy. I use to ride Trials in my late 20's and you have to earn the skillz.... many hours spend just bouncing off boulders etc....

    Excellent

    I much appreciated the honesty displayed at the end, I still feel inadequate but just a touch less because of that.

    The only one that I could only remotely identify with was riding along on the balance beam. I used to run an annual race that went across a long covered bridge. Most covered bridges are planked perpendicular to the line of travel---this one was parallel.

    To make it more interesting the gaps between the planks were, in many cases, wider than the tires on a road bike. Fall in the groove and you can fill in the rest of that stunt. Many riders actually dismounted and walked their bikes across. Being a 100+ mile race it didn't play to much of a roll in the end result. I was lucky--I always rode across and avoided the gap problem.
