Met a nice guy on the bike trail, this weekend, and we chatted a bit about biking. Seems he was a member of a local
bicycle club and he was nice enough to invite me to join.
I've thought about this in the past and, as much as I would love the company while riding, I also know from experience that I would drive a group nuts with all my stops to take pics of wildflowers with my
Pentax Optio A10 camera and, even worse, my sudden emergency stops to look at
birds with my
compact binoculars. I may forget my water bottle and emergency snack, but I never bike without some optic. These days, it's mostly my
Nikon Premier LX 10x25 though I sometimes just grab one of my other
binoculars as my whims dictate.
Sure would be nice to find a guy who was both a
birding nut and a bike nut, but I guess nuts don't typically come in packages like me.
