One answer is my stepson's, Janak's, arm. The other is something I ran over at about 3am on my journey through the Oregon Randonneurs Alsea Falls 400k Brevet. I know this about Janak's arm because about two years ago we were riding in a nearby park and he fell over in front of me with his arm splayed out. I ran over his little child arm with my front tire...then my rear tire.
I was mortified. I assumed I must have broken his little armie (Where do generals keep their armies? Why up their sleevies, of course!). But I hadn't! He was well enough to crash again a few minutes later and fall into the blackberry bushes. That hurt!
So from experience running things over I don't think I hurt this astonished critter, and he didn't go "Pop"! Any guesses?
The answer to this mystery and more about the Alsea Falls 400k night mysteries to be revealed soon. Too pooped now.
Keep it rested,

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 400k. I am well and truly awed! V.
ReplyDeleteNot a turtle. Not a snake. But there is a hint if you're awake.
ReplyDeleteJeez, between bad jokes, worse poetry, and misspellings it's pretty obvious I'm not all with it just yet.
it didn't squish and it didn't pop....
ReplyDeleteahhh -- i got it! -- but i won't reveal my (oh-so-accurate) guess and spoil your story (but i will email you my guess!)
