It was a beautiful Sunday...so I decide to go on a bicycle ride..the normal route..down Padaro up to Highway 192/Foothill..then back home..a little 7 miler...I usually see some Harleys on highway 192 and since the Harley shop is in Carp,
many more folks are using the foothills..but still not too bad..it is a gorgeous ride even with the extra company...so I'm riding past the organic farm when I hear some rumbling behind me..this was a low rumble, not the usual chopper racket I hear..I look behind me and two riders are on big Harley Trikes..the front rider is..guess who..Dr. Laura! I laughed at her as she passed..her hubby was close behind..the funny thing was the look on Dr. Laura's face...even with the big oversized helmet on and dark sunglasses, she looked absolutely terrified..and small..teeny..like Norman Bates' mother grasping the trike handlebars for dear life like a little statue... I wish I had my camera..the other funny thing is they were only going about 25 mph! I almost caught up to them on my mountain bike! HA... 
She had mentioned in her No-News-Press column a few times about almost getting into an accident on her Harley..well, Dr. Laura, you are gonna kill someone or get killed if you don't change your riding technique..loosen up and try going a little faster... after all you are on a rural highway..or better yet take up something more age-appropriate ..like a golf cart...FORRRE!
ps..I found this pic in a mag and it looks like what I saw on Highway 192!
