I got up bright and early and started my bike ride. The sun was up and shining bright.I catch a glimmer of something to my left. I turn, with sun in my eyes, to see what is glimmering. Suddenly, I get this empty queezt feeling in my stomach. I feel a general pain over all my body. My knees and elbows especially sting and my head! oh my head it hurts and ears are ringing. I crashed but what did I hit? Where am I now? My bike seems to be in fair shape. It has a few scratches and the handlebars a little askew. I give them firm twist back into shape, hop on and peddle away. I am not sure of the directionor even where I am located. I hope to find someone or something that can give me some direction. As I am peddling along I hear some rustling in the underbrush on both sides of me. As I was trying to see what this was, out of the brush grew heards of giant rabbits. This, as you would imagine, startled me. I wanted to stop but it was as if my legs had a mind of their own. Not only did I not stop peddling but my legs peddled even harder and faster. I looked down at my feet and to my surprise I was wearing bunny slippers. I don't know where they came from but the one on my right foot looked up at me and said "We are tired." The other one then looked up and responded "Why don't you stop?" No sooner had his words hit my ears when the bike seemed to stop all by itself. The bunnies jumped off my feet and ran off into the woods. I rest only momentarily just long enough to wipe my forhead, clear my throat and take a brief look around for some water. Of course I could not find any water so I continued on my journey still looking for someone or something to tell me which direction to go. All I know is everywhere I look I see the same thing, the same trees, the same rocks, and the same mountains. I can't hear anything but this pounding cadence that seems to be coming from the mountains.I have some strange feeling that something is out of whack. I know there are No mountains in this part of Texas but there they are right in front of my eyes. Oh and this cadence now turned to pounding is making my head hurt. Oh how my head hurts. I seem to be riding along almost on autopilot. Suddenly, I find myself asleep. A DEEP sleep. I am having a hard time opening my eyes. Finally, I feel water from a cold wet rag on my head held there by golf foursome that found me on the Grapevine Golf Course near the edge of the lake. I manage to get my eyes open just in time to see a couple of rabbits hopping away. I felt some burning and stinging on my back. I quickly pushed the wet rag aside and got up to find that I was laying in between several anthills. The ants looked a little miffed. One was even waving a few fists at me saying "Next time, If you want us to carry you and your bike 12.1 miles you better loose some weight!!"
