Rasta Far Riders Day July 30,2010

We made it to the 4 p.m. show but we missed the evening Rastafridans secondary to a little life jumping up and mugging us.  No big, the Rasta Far Riders were a fine bunch with whom to hang.  The majority of them were on EPIC bike rides, laying down 20, 30, 40, 50 miles of tire.   Finding us along the way, they stopped, they drank lemonade and they let loose the secrets. 

But first they chatted.  We covered far ranging topics, from movie making to map making, from oblivious mates to obvious hates. Spawned by yesterday's secret about Roller Derby and cutting, one women commented that she read a study which indicated that women in domestic violence situations will usually return to said negative lifestyle unless, during the course of an intervention, they are introduced to some other form of intense, adrenalian pumping, physical sport...in the case of this study, women's boxing was the stalwart escape route.  Go Roller Derby and women's boxing and lemonade and trusted steeds!
