Mini vs Bugs
We went for a relaxing bike ride in the woods
Brookline, NH - Mini has a Buddy Rider. We thought it a great solution to bring on longer rides where running next to us would be too much for her. On the advice of curious camper Eddy we all set off from camp to do a loop down a road, through the woods and back up a highway to camp.
The quads were burning halfway up the first the hill on our single speed 26” BMXs (I now know why converting mountain bikes to single speeds isn’t a very popular mod). Up and down a few more hills and we were at the trailhead. Probably a good 1⁄2 mile or more downhill through the woods. A good 1⁄2 mile of Mini chomping spastically at flies and mosquitos that were swarming her head! I had to posture straight up and lean waaaayy back to make sure I didn’t catch a tooth in my face! She did knick my arm. Her body was secured to the Buddy Rider but her head was free and flailing wildly every where. Teeth snapping and popping. I thought I was gonna lose an eye.
Anyway.. I was too scared to take a photo so here’s this weird sketch from my point of view. We also saw a deer splashing through a little creek.
