It came and went, the weekend where we open up the gates, put the horses somewhere safe and let the dirt fly. A small crowd arrives sporting dirt bikes, quads and all terrain vehicles. Children and adults gear up and head out into the fields to put the pedal to the medal and have an all around good time.
I can't say we participate, we have no "motors" and are quite content to propel ourselves the old fashioned way... by foot. Now its not to say we're a bunch of wet blankets because we are not. We love to watch our friends enjoy themselves, cheer the kids on as they gain confidence on their machines and wring our hands nervously at the site of wipe outs. We head out to the fields on our bikes and join in the fun, a little slower and a different kind of joy but we return with the rest with stories to tell.
Some of the kids sporting their "rides", mine are on their bikes. :)
I for one had a great weekend and a great ride!
Did you steal my picture!?! I have that exact picture of Tristin.
