Room on #WordyMonday

I know it’s not dance, but this is what I’ve been doing all day and it’s a wonderful illustration of room. Room to breathe, room to move, room to whiz over rocks and gravel, gnarly trunks and bright green grass. No room to avoid what I’m assured is a red-rather-than-pink downhill rush of terror, or to imagine that I’ll have a chance of finishing a mad mountain bike ride between Madrid and Lisbon (15 days, 1,200+ off-road km and a combined ascent of 28,000m), but bright sun and clean air and wonderful company, patiently coaching me through the technical basics of mountain biking so I have a tiny chance of adequately acquitting myself on my forthcoming charity challenge. These are the Guided Rides guys and you should go.

But don’t worry. I’ll do a dance interpretation of the word Room for Eleanor (who suggested this #WordyMonday word) next week. Meanwhile you can see some of my other images from the day at ceimages.co.uk on facebook and at moblog.

WordyMonday is a challenge. A word is suggested and I interpret that word with a dance image.
Anyone can join by suggesting a word (as a comment to this blog, to @CE_Images on Twitter or at Carole Edrich Photography on facebook) and anyone can take up the challenge by finding an image that reflects their personal interpretation of the word suggested for that week. If you do, please share what you’ve done by posting a link on this blog and use the #WordyMonday tag.
