wipe-out

Video by Wendy Lucas. The Funniest race on ice.

Had a bit of a messy bike ride home from Ward's Island last night. I had decided to stop by my old sailing club and see if my stuff was still there. Surprisingly enough, after nearly two year's absence, it was. I ended up biking home with my Rollerblades strapped to my already over-loaded backpack and my life jacket slung over a picnicking bag that I had dangled from my handlebars. After a few beers on the disc golf course and a 1/2 bottle of wine at dinner, I certainly did not need to be any more top-heavy than I already felt!
Needless to say, I took a tumble while (thankfully!) stopped at a red light. Landed smack-dab on my right arse-cheek. Ouch! Hurt my pride a little too, as there were a bunch of teenagers walking by right then, who laughed openly at my yard-sale spill.
"Gimme a break.! I just played a round of disc-golf and rode back and forth across the Toronto Islands", I felt like yelling back. But I didn't; instead I got up, loaded up my crap and rode (very slowly) on home.
