A trial of a trail

Rich and I rode Kowen on the weekend. One of my favourite trails in Canberra and I was very excited to see what he thought. What I didnt count on was that we would see half of it in slow motion, about 3 times!

Rich lost his car keys 10 or so kms into the ride and we then spent the next couple of hours scouring the track and surrounds for the elusive little black device. Not surprisingly we didnt have any luck as the old saying goes, 'A needle in a haystack'.  We did though still get to enjoy the whole 28km loop (although a tad slower than usual) and the awesome sweeping downhill section at the end. I think I can speak for both of us, for those 15 or so minutes the lost car keys were far from our thoughts!

Back to the carpark though and back to the dilemma at hand - NRMA to open the car + Tow truck to tow it and take us home + Locksmith to cut, replace keys and set immobiliser = an expensive ride!

Sh#t happens. I can think of worse places to be having a minor crisis. Out on the bike with a mate, beautiful day and single track to die for, not that bad.

Although I might drive next time!!
