So, I've been missing my old friend BRP lately so I hit it this morning with a few other fellas. I love that place really. Even after 23 years of riding there it's still a great surprise right smack dab in the middle of the city. We need to care for it and nurture it so it is always there and ready to ride. Which brings me to an important point: If you have sections that you oversee, please go check on them. Remove the dead fall and trim. I did my section a few weeks ago and it needed it then. Some sections have been virtually reclaimed by Mother Nature. With good trail reports and nicely groomed trails, we can get knobbies on the dirt out there and that will bring the love back big time.
Now, for today's strange circumstance. And before I begin, let me say that I am no stranger to odd situations at BRP. Riding there for 23 years has produced a number of great stories. Today's is just one more for the list. Not earth shattering, but just sorta makes you chortle a bit.
I was headed across the basement trail when I happened across a guy just hanging on the trail. He was polite and obviously not a hiker but just one of your regular folks who you see sometime on the trail. As he waved and gave me a howdy, I caught something in the corner of my eye to the left down in the trees. A quick glance and I think I see what can best be described as lady butt. It looked naked and was scrambling into the brush as I passed at a pretty good clip but I couldn't be for sure. Nah, I thought, seeing things. Been a long ride, I'm toast and drenched in sweat, she was dressed and just walking down the hill.
Ride on, loop around to middle, start up it when we come across the guy again. This time he says "hey, does this trail loop around." I didn't understand him so I stop to ask him to repeat the question. As I stand there, I look into the woods at some movement and there she is, Miss Perky we'll call her, in various states of undress and attempting to cover her top half with her hands as if nothing in the world was going on. I didn't notice it, but one of the other guys said Mr. Happy was clutching a camera. I tried to pretend there wasn't a nearly naked lady standing 10 feet from me and did a pretty good job of it really. We bid them farewell and rode on...and as we did I heard one of the other guys exclaim, "that was weird."
Ya think?
Keep those eyes peeled for a sexy pinup girl in the weeds (for you guys who look at that sort of thing).
