Day 183, Sunday, December 4

Went for a 10 to 15 mile ride with Karen this morning. I had a nice tumble down the edge of the trail but got lucky to catch my footing as soon as I did. If I hadn’t I’d have probably slid another 30 or 40 feet further than I did. As it was, the slope I managed to stop myself on was steep enough that I couldn’t get out on my own. I had to have Karen grab the bike which was trapped by one of my legs before I could even attempt to crawl back up the slope. Cool. Got a nice raspberry on my left leg as a result. Nice ride.

After the ride, Karen invited me over for dinner. She made the same shrimp jumbalaya she made back at Crater Lake where I met her. Fantastic! She also made some dense whole wheat bread which we had along with the shrimp jumbalaya. We sat out on her back deck and played cards ‘till sunset.
