Here’s the latest from ForestyForest….

Man.

This stuff is all so good….and, if I’m going to be doing some “armchair adventuring”, this is what I want to see.

This time, he’s in Newfoundland, touring around on his fatbike.

I’m not the most adventurous guy around sometimes, but the times when I remember being happiest are when I’m out in the big and strange….different…new.

I’m happiest….and scared, sometimes….when I don’t know where I am.

(Speaking of….we went up to Asheville the other day to ride a trail that Jenny had heard was finished. 5 bikes on the 5 bike carrier on the back of the minivan….helmets….water bottles….a long drive up to Asheville….and we were ready.

It turned out that only about 1 mile of the trail was done…..and we had to ride a good bit on the road.

Having Nate with us and being on the road made us kind of nervous….so Jenny told me (after we’d ridden for a while looking for the rest of the greenway) that I could ride back to the car and bring it to them so that they wouldn’t have to ride with all the traffic.

Anyway, after clarifying the directions with her, I rode off and made a wrong turn and got lost….rode around Asheville….backtracked….found the car….loaded up my bike….started out and….got lost driving for a while….found the guys and helped them load their bikes.

I told Jenny that I got lost (something she’d already figured out after the long wait)….and she showed me where the parking lot where the minivan had been was.

You could see it from where we were.

It was right across the river.

Seeing where you need to go makes it all easier.

And, you know? Not knowing how to get to where you need to be makes everything “new”….makes everything an adventure.

Maybe that’s what makes me nervous….that most of my adventures come because I don’t know what I’m doing?

Who knows?)

These videos from ForestyForest are great.

I turned down the soundtrack for this one….the techno beat detracted from the meditative aspects of the bicycling….
