CAMELOT FANTASIES

hard to believe that big John is 30 already.



seems like it was just yesterday when he was playing for the university of Georgia.

this is roughly where I am general.


this new bay saint Louis bridge is about 10 miles away from my place here:






hurricane Katrina had taken out the old bridge.

and this is local beach here.

Gotta love this houseboat and location



Beautiful brick stilts protect this house from the elements



state of the art grill and lighting with an airy porch and great bayou view



Castle Irish Bayou near I-10 as you leave New Orleans heading east to Mississippi.

nobody in my family had ever fallen before so this was a shock.



I am the only one who falls and that is usually in the mountains when I am riding mountain bikes.



at least twice I have fallen on the road when riding bikes. once time I crashed at high speed when I was out on a training ride.



I fell in front of an oncoming car. a lady was driving.


she stopped her car just in time. I was also not wearing a helmet. I hit my head hard against the road which would knock me out for a few seconds.


 I may have told you about this. I broke my wrist that day and it has never been the same since.

Yeah, it really sounds awful general. 

My youngest girl just rode her first two wheel bike by herself a couple of days ago.  She learned her balance pretty quickly - about an hour.   I pushed her and off she went. 
She wears a helmet - it's required here for kids.   I hope she has better luck than yours, but I expect she'll fall a few times as well.

here is the flume trail general. as you can see, it is not all that technical.



the hardest part is getting to it. it is over 2 miles of solid climbing before you can even get to this trail.

your girl will love bikes. they are a lot of fun but you will have to keep an eye on her when she rides.



I am still not wearing helmets on my training rides. just a bad habit.




I was about 4 when I first got on a bike. it only took me a few seconds before I fell off.


I fell off from a horse also the very first time ever I got on one. it was in Oregon a few years back.

fognini took out Dimitrov today.


it was 6-0 in the deciding frame.

fog is going to be famous.
