Its kind of fun to create some 'aerial art' for the overhead flyers.
In the 90's there was a show on tv that aired everyday called "Art Attack!"
Episode of Art Attack! From approx 5:49 - 7:35 in the clip, you can see his aerial artwork from start to finish! It's really cool and I remember watching it with my kids when they were small and thinking what happens to this work afterwards? Some of his shows he literally goes around a large gathering of food on picnics tables and uses the food as props! The end result is stunning from an aerial perspective and www.youtube.com has lots of footage of the show. The host of the show, Eric Bucannhan was rumoured to have died (from an art attack?). I did some research and infact he's alive and well, but not exactly sure what he's up to. I decided to do a bit of my own aerial artwork with some landfill around the Tommy Thompson Park, and all I could pretty much carry were multi-cultured bricks! I did manage to spell out have a nice day..Unfortunately no one could quite get high enough over the artwork to really revel in its beauty ! :^P
Back at Crothers' Woods. This time to check out more of the bike trails, and not just the natural, untouched settings surrounding the forests. Some of the trails are really challenging and not for beginners. When I am not feeling sure of some the hills, I remain on the foot trails at times when I'm a little less than confident. I'll just use my bike as an excuse.
The forest is a cool place to be in an otherwise hot day though. I am not looking forward to when I can't go riding anymore, since I find myself always anxious to get back out and ride again.

Note: dear Reader don't think it's me, or ever will be me in the video :)
Overall, the trails are safe and are usually fenced off after if the conditions are too muddy). Generally just respect the conditions, as well as your own limitations and other riders who are less agile (like me)...

Heading out, while crossing the train tracks, I noticed a truck up ahead riding the 'rails' to do some weekend maintenance. He thought it was pretty "hilarious" laughing his head off while I squealed as he let out a loud honk <wiseguy :P>
