What Did You See While Cycling Today?! I Saw...

Three of these

Two of these

and one of these


Yes that is a truck very close to going over the side of a cliff.  There were also multiple other usual sites like squirrels and cars and other cyclists but for my three year old son this would have been the ultimate cycling trip (maybe if there was a construction site along the way too).

I saw the a Highway Patrol car (now SUV-referred to as CHP below) coming up the road as I was going down which was only slightly strange becuase the road is little traveled but thought nothing of it.  I gave the officer a nod and carried on.  A bit down the way there was a car stopped with another CHP in front of it.  People were standing around and then the next obvious site was a Fire Engine (kind of hard to miss).  And to the side of the road, the side of the road that has no side i.e. it is a cliff and trees, was a white truck half in the trees half on the road.  A fire fighter was pulling out chainsaws and I figured they were going to have to do a little work to make it possible for the tow truck to do his duty.  And on the other side of the fire truck and tow truck was another CHP.  It didn't look like anyone was hurt, probably just a little shaken up.  I didn't stick around and watch, just shimmied on by.  They must have dealt with the truck pretty quick because it was taken care of before I was headed back that way in about 30min.  The point here is to get out and ride! It's exciting and fun as long as the excitement does not invovle oneself too much!
