Its Friday, and in the spirit of knocking off early for the weekend Im gonna leave you with my latest Outside column and then split:It was very hot on the day of this ride, and the column includes a photo of me swimming illicitly and doing my very best impression of an otter:Youll note the photograph is credited to none other than Jrs Trli, and as you know I have no friends to take pictures of me, so you may be wondering how I managed it. Well, I simply propped the phone up on a rock and started recording video, from which I then took a screenshot. While you do see me floating around out there without a care in the world, what you dont see is me slipping on an extremely slick rock on the way in and nearly busting my ass:You also dont see me unable to get back out of the water for a comical amount of time due to that very same slick rock, which I repeatedly attempt to scale in vain like a frog slathered in Vaseline trying to climb out of a Mason jar:If youd like to see the actual unedited video of my humiliation its available with a premium subscription:All right, Im out of here. If you need me Ill be on the Roaduno:I might even stop for a swim.
