Heading for the Hills

Please forgive me as there will be no blog, because today we ride.

But as an offering I give you a poem I wrote several years ago about riding. Enjoy.

Leaning Past Forty on Deadman’s Curve

On the back of the bike,

we give into gravity’s downward pull and

lean into the curve,

pass the warning signs then

fly by the crooked wooden cross,

avert our eyes –

give the finger to death and

ride on –
