Trail Riding

I've been trying to come up with new

date ideas for Husband and I.

My latest burst of brilliance was to go 'trail riding'.

Now, when I heard 'trail riding' 

I was picturing nice, flat, paved, wide trails

where we could take a leisurely pedal on our bikes.

I should never make assumptions.

Trail riding is more like racing out of control

on a narrow dirt path riddled with things trying to crash you.

Giant roots, rocks, and blackberry bushes 

stretching their thorns across your path.

And then there was the part where I didn't realize

each brake on the handle bars controlled a different tire 

(front versus back)

and I only applied my front brake when I was 

racing out of control down a steep incline

and my back tire lifted off the trail into the air

and I almost went head first onto said trail.

I think for our next date I am just going to buy a new movie.
