On the bike in the woods in the fall.

I didn't know Meade was over there photographing me.

"After jokingly referring to himself as the Fat Forrest Gump, he was asked about his use of the word 'fat.'"

"People need to get over it... I’m fat and I’m calling myself fat. People are too worried about offending everybody. That’s what’s wrong with this country.”

Said Eric Hites, the "Fat Guy Across America," who's arrived in New York City and has a big NYT article about him.

The Erratic Mound.

A feature of the Seminole mountain biking trail... demonstrated by Meade...



I was in there for the first time yesterday. I ride the trail marked "easy," but this is the intermediate trail, which I rode in part, stopping to walk through all the most interesting obstacles, like this one, which is called, I'm told, "The Erratic Mound."

AND: There's a bypass to The Erratic Mound, for more timid bikers, though I'm even too timid for this, demonstrated, again, by Meade.



And here are some pictures of the volunteers who worked on the trail last week including (including Meade). The machine — and I don't mean Meade — is called a "mini-excavator." That's not Meade operating the machine, but Meade is in 2 of the photographs. 

Now, be careful!
