ken4ord Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well just logged on it is a 11:30 at night, a freaking 10 minute process well it is 11:40, gotta love dial up in Africa. Anyways just got back from a 60km mountain bike ride where did a 400m climb, followed by several other smaller hills outside of Kigali. It was a perfect night out cool temps, powerful moonlight, not too many people, the normal military troop or two, drunks trying to find there way home, people just out for a walk. We had left at 8pm after doing our fatherly duties (getting our children fed and ready for bed) while our sig others were out for a jog. I was lucky tonight since I was at Ludwig's house, Misti took Simone home so I ended up chilling before going out. I been riding a bit at night out here which is a blast, but this ride was so cool because most of the ride we could do without our lights. When we did light 'em up on the technical sections the batteries would be fresh and the light bright. Out here in Rwanda, almost every ride I do I hit new trails, tonight wasn't the exception we found a great little single track downhill that was fast, turny and with enough loose shit with trees around to make you pucker a bit as you come sliding around a turn. We also got on a bit of flat technical, it's great. Basically clay elevated skinnies, with stairs, roll ins, mini gaps to wheelie hop or do what I do wheelie front wheel and hop the rear. The ocassional spectator would just exclaim, "eh eh eh ehhh!" We also had a few scares, one in particular with this military guy acting all strange and freaked. It didn't help that he had machine gun and we just got done getting stoned. Luckily his partner realize we were a couple of crazy muzungu's out for a night ride. So to make a long story short, I guess what I am doing right now is typing this shit.......time to get some chow I am starving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend_Climberz Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 You always have your backyard wall to fall back on. It's a lot safer to climb on that drunk, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Muzungu = Whitey Didn't hear it too many times tonight, um only 70 times. I take it that Muzungu is mildly pejorative? Sort of like "gringo", "yankee", etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 I find the use of muzungu rude and generally regard most people as rude. Some cases it not others cases it is blantantly rude (shouting in an obnoxious voice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 So "honky" is a closer approximation. I remember years ago some frat bros and I went to Ensenada. One of the guys had long blonde hair like Weekend_Climberz, which was not exactly in line with the local dress code. Some local hanging out in a doorway, said, "grrrrinngggooooo", in such a way that the meaning was clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat_Roslyn Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I lived in Morelia, MX for awhile and when walking down the street, or waiting for the bus, men would always yell 'guerra!' at me. Same as here, when waiting for the bus, I get honked at or some crap, but not even as close as often as being called geurra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirwoofalot Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I am wondering if I am going to have a job next week, and if I do then what am I going to be doing now that our company has been taken over by Darth Vader and the evil empire. Well, maybe I should try to do some work instead of doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it must be the farce. I think it has something to do with large corporations either grow or die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
