This weekend my husband biked the 109-mile Michelson Trail in southwestern South Dakota (details and more photos coming up soon.) Many Which Way photo ops abound during a ride of this sort, but I though this one representative. The well-maintained trail goes through the Black Hills and in more than one place, a trestle is needed to bridge the gap. Here’s one such trestle, well-built but not for anyone uncomfortable with heights although, as you can see, there’s a high railing on either side.

Sounds like an exciting bike ride… 🙂
Very well captured… 🙂
It was a lot of fun. He did all the work; I was just the support team.

Great photo.
Thanks very much, Raewyn.

did I ride over that ?
I’m pretty sure you did on the second day around the place where I sat on the bench.
looks different from the bike 🙂
It is quite high!!
It is. But the trail was reasonably wide, so at least you would feel as if you were going to go over easily. 🙂

Hi Janet, I like your caption to your photo this week. Wonderful entry. 🙂
Happy over-the-hump day, Cee. I always try to have a catchy caption, so I’m glad you like it.

Great photo, Jan–not sure I’d like to cross the trestle on a bike, though.
Bill doesn’t remember crossing it, so I guess it wasn’t too scary…or else he was just tired and concentrating. 🙂 It was really more like a bridge than a trestle, with a solid path, so less intimidating.

I hope you are having a fabulous week!
Thanks, Cee. I am having a fabulous week and I appreciate being on of “the chosen.” Wow, that has a really creepy, horror movie sound to it, doesn’t it? 🙂

You are to funny Janet 😀 I wanted to feature you on something other than odd balls, even though you have turned into the queen of odd balls. Thought I would let other people enjoy your talent
Awww, how nice of you, Cee. “Queen of Oddballs”, eh? I think some people might have called me that before, although not for the same reason. 🙂 But really, thanks. I appreciate it.
Road trip!!! Great photo.
How ’bout that Janet? We were both selected this week!!
That means we’re “special.” 🙂 Congrats on getting selected. I’m blogging about the road trip, too.

Quite a bike ride! That trestle would make me nervous! 🙂
When I posted that photo, Bill said, “Did I go over that?” 🙂 The trail is relatively wide and the railings also quite high and when you’re concentrating on just riding, it must seem much less intimidating.

What a beautiful spot.
The whole ride was through beautiful country. What a joy!
