The “horse” I fell off a couple weeks ago. [photo] Rode it to Maple Road and back. Yes, I was nervous.
Not all Newport hazards are man-made: nearly kissed a deer who stepped out from behind a bush 10 feet in front, and then retreated, all before I could react. Still, good to see signs of repairs soon to come to some of the decayed road surface.
John, I don’t get it where is the ‘horse’ in the picture? Tell me next Sunday.
“Get back on the horse you fell off of” is an idiom referring to trying something again (e.g. riding a bike) after failing (e.g. falling off a bike). Presumably, the “horse” in this photo is the fact that it was taken while astride a bicycle on the same stretch of road that previously felled the original poster.
I can certain sympathize with how hard this can be, as I now shudder every time I ride across the Allen Creek train tracks and have a stiff shoulder every morning to remind me when I wake.
