A coyote bursts out of the brush, followed closely by a doe. She chases the coyote across the meadow and into more brush. They appear in the next meadow, the doe’s neck stretched out like a greyhound’s in hot pursuit.<br /><br />A few minutes later she appears again in our meadow, squats to pee, looks up at Blue who is watching intently through the rail, moves away nervously, returns. We retreat from the deck to ease her mind. She watches us leave and then, for long minutes — maybe ten minutes — surveys the door we have disappeared behind.<br /><br />Her twin fawns are somewhere near, we suppose, and she’s on high alert.<br /><br />Fifteen minutes later she disappears, back into the brush.<br /><br />And the coyote?Scott Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782322856303315648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183840277237490627.post-77665993174257756422013-09-04T16:48:43.642-06:002013-09-04T16:48:43.642-06:00hi tj, and thanks for reading! technical is hard ...hi tj, and thanks for reading! technical is hard for me, but I guess I'd say it is a descent with a gentle turn or two that you glide through, and you know you've swooped when you feel pure joy brush your skin.<br />recovery is s l o w but at least recognizable.<br />thanks again and go try a swoop somewhere :)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822442858298540391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183840277237490627.post-5428062777983307342013-09-04T11:21:52.673-06:002013-09-04T11:21:52.673-06:00Hi Susan!

I'm not familiar with the term and would like to read a more technical description of the "swoop". Is it speed, downhill, uphill, carving a turn, leaning at a minimum angle, or some combination of characteristics? How do I know when I "swoop"?<br /><br />Have FUN and recover FAST!<br /><br />TJ TyrrellUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127127677403255445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183840277237490627.post-63539549832071406332013-02-28T08:40:16.441-07:002013-02-28T08:40:16.441-07:00oh greg, you're right in many ways . . . and I...oh greg, you're right in many ways . . . and I TREMENDOUSLY admire all those who commute throughout the winter, through snow and ice and slush. <br />let me say I only do this class during the winter when many days are too dangerous or too darn cold for wimpy me to ride there.<br />AND class begins at 5:10 am... up on the northeastern bench of the city.... those extra 12 minutes I'd need if I rode v. drove are crucially important to my already-cramped sleeping time.<br />as for making a better "bad choice"... in our current world there are few "perfect" choices. staying fit and healthy without using an indoor facility during the winter is not easy for those of us who can't run. just as owning a store puts you in a position of having to use fossil fuels, most of us have to make less-than-ideal choices given our extremely limited options.<br />I have ridden to afternoon classes a handful of times (when it's a specific workout I don't want to miss), and I agree, given time and the safety of daylight and tolerable temps, it's the better way to go. <br />green lights are even MORE fun on a bike . . .susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183840277237490627.post-61482020477043076362013-02-28T00:00:06.024-07:002013-02-28T00:00:06.024-07:00I have a challenge for you...

In the city of smog, with air quality the worst in the nation... why burn fossil fuels to go indoors into a room lit and heated by fossil fuels to...ride a bike?<br /><br />I actually understand the camaraderie of riding indoors together. I get the idea of structured training in a class.<br /><br />But the world needs cyclists. And the low hanging fruits are athlete cyclist. And we need more athlete cyclists to try using a bike for more than just exercise.<br /><br />So I would like to offer a challenge to you...<br /><br />I once was told in dieting a key way to get control is to "make a better bad choice". If you crave ice cream sunday, have a simple bowl of ice cream. If you crave ice cream, try frozen yogurt. If you crave frozen .... you get the point.<br /><br />Start by making a simple step instead of cutting out all deserts.<br /><br />So my challenge to you is to make a better bad choice.<br /><br />Ride your bike to the class. Ride the class. And then ride home.<br /><br />Just layer outerwear over what you would have on in class, take it off during and put it back on to go home.<br /><br />I think you might find more green lights...you're on a roll.<br /><br />-ggregclimbshttp://beehivebicycles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183840277237490627.post-35207000537220882892012-08-28T07:49:01.466-06:002012-08-28T07:49:01.466-06:00thanks cathy, you are a goddess of your own, inspi...thanks cathy, you are a goddess of your own, inspiring me in ways you'll never know. susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822442858298540391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183840277237490627.post-26917669174041857102012-08-23T18:04:58.174-06:002012-08-23T18:04:58.174-06:00Good observation!
