Humor writing is such a rare talent; bicycle humor is that much more valuable. That's why the legions of us come here. Hopefully Dug will submit some more guest blogs. Say it ain’t so.

I only ride MTB's occassionaly and even then very badly but when in Utah etc etc. I asked a local for directions. He warned me about Saskwatch (excuse spelling), wild goats, Bears, Moose Hunters, swooping bald eagles, snow, mud, other riders, blokes dressed in drag, heat and energy food and keeping all that in mind I round a bend and mount this brilliantly conceived, designed, built and positioned teetery tottery man trap thingy resulting in my somewhat spectacular mid air departure from trusty single 20 speed (can only use one at a time) MTB and i just want to know how much it is worth and who I ask for it. However the story was not working and I gave up. Must add I like Barry1021 (excellent choice of pic) idea that I freeze in the middle and am found during the big thaw by our hero and host and other riding luminaries of his acquaintance. Cheers all.

Does writing about my favorite side dish count? I saw this hiatus coming a mile away after reading the now infamous Mashed Potatoes blog entry. So when I submit a story it has to be on topic?
