It's not as good as knobby buzz on desert hardpack.

Yup - nuthin' but the whizzing of a freewheel is one of my favorite sounds!

Speaking of which, someone has built a daft drop in Powhite. Come in from
the main park entrance and it's on the left parallel to Chippenham. It's at
least a 9 footer to a smooth albeit short tranny.

And, we reopened more trails last weekend too - TR to follow.

Nah... something about a baby seal's crying before you lop its head off
really does it for me though.

You use a scythe? We always bludgeoned them. Although my mother would
sometimes back them into a corner and nag them to death. We finally had
to make her stop. The hair standing on end like that spoiled the pelts
for commercial sale.

It's all good. The slap of your chain, the crunch of your tires... as long
as your in the saddle all is right in the world.

It didn't totally surprise me. Being the carnivorous alpha female that she
is. ;^)

But on my SS I get neither the chain slap nor am I in the saddle (much).
Somehow it still seems right despite missing those things.

Let me rephrase: As long as you have two wheels under you, all is right in
the world.
