David stepped out of the door leading outside from the castle's mud room.   He pulled the jacket closer and zipped it up.  He glanced around and stuffed the work gloves that had been provided to him into the coat pockets.  It wasn't cold, no, but their guides had said they would be going into an area where the wind could be a little chilly.  The gloves though, the need for those was pretty evident.<br/><br/>He walked over to the waiting quadbikes and patted the feed sacks that rested on the back storage area of the quads.  The sacks were big, about the size of a large bag of dog food.  However, as he felt it, it didn't seem to have the same consistency.  Well, that made sense, he thought as he glanced around the area he was standing.<br/><br/>He saw four quadbikes ready.  It seemed to him that their guides were going to ride together, which left the other three for him and the other two participants.  However, he didn't see any others for the girls.  Maybe there were only four for all six of them.  Oh well, no matter.  If they decided to take the girls out for a ride or a picnic, they could ride with them.  Might even be fun, he thought.<br/><br/>He listened as Donald explained the operation of the bikes.  The machines seemed pretty straightforward.  David didn't think he'd have too many problems with their use.  He sidled up to the blue quad and examined the knobs, switches, and everything else.<br/><br/>"After we drop the fodder for the flock, we'll go down the dock and bring back the last supplies, all right lads?" Angus said after Donald finished the instruction on the bikes.  "Don't get yourself hurt, there's been enough disruption for one day."<br/><br/>David chuckled and settled onto the bike.  "No reminders needed here," he said as he maneuvered into a comfortable position on the bike.  After seeing the women and what lay before him, David had no reason to risk it.  Sure, the whole outdoor working thing was a little surprising, but that didn't matter.  Hell, he'd played in worse conditions before, this was just a new game.  He nodded to himself.  Yeah, think of it like that.  A new game to learn.<br/><br/>He started up the quad beneath him, glancing at Bo and Marcus.  "This should be interesting," he said as they all prepared to leave.
