we don't always make it over

Rode with Matt Johnson from Montreat up Rattlesnake to Pot Cove Gap. Matt, probably the most talented mountain bike rider I know, jumped obstacles that I have never seen anyone else jump before. I, on the other hand, rode my usual sloppy but satisfying ride, even falling while trying to get over a rock that I've never failed to get over. Montreat presents a rocky road, though. It's one of the bumpiest trails I know of.

At the outset of our trip, Matt and I pedaled past two elderly women.

"How do you make it over all of those rocks?" one of them asked.

"Well," I replied, "we don't always make it over." o^o
