I think that escalator probably captured the feeling perfectly.<br /><br />Congrats on the good ride despite adverse conditions!smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-60412395841576356712011-05-07T19:35:13.198-04:002011-05-07T19:35:13.198-04:00Excellent ride and kudos to both of you for stayin...Excellent ride and kudos to both of you for staying calm while the saddle did not.

Good for both of you! <br />I'm approximately in the same place as you in my training, and torn as to whether to show. Do I get out there and get experience for Rogo, or wait until the corners, transitions, etc. are all polished? It seems to come and go. I think I'll write a post about it, so I'll be looking for your opinion :)<br />I love your pictures. Val looks GREAT! You keep him looking so nice. I'm afraid I don't stay on top of our red Nova Scotia mud.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-61937966235753210942011-05-06T22:54:56.072-04:002011-05-06T22:54:56.072-04:00Wow, sounds like a great ride even with the escala...Wow, sounds like a great ride even with the escalator incident. Glad you weren't hurt and both of you continued your ride uneventfully. What a great pair you two are.<br /><br />Great trailer loading too. Is there anything that Val can't do?
