A Few Things I Have Been Thinking
6/29/2006 – 10:27 pm#1)A while back, I was all ‘riding on the bike path is dumb. I’m gonna officially reverse my position now and say riding on the bike path is a good thing. Its a set course, car traffic is limited, and you can get in some uninterrupted stretches.
#2)I thought that West Chester Pike was hilly. I thought that Belmount Ave south of the River was a steep climb. Bullshit. The road I tried climbing today, Jefferson street, off of Belmount ave. That is a hill. I barely survived getting to the top of it this morning. Compared to that, every climb I have done previously was merely inconveniently inclined.
#3)Fixed Gear Cycling, a blog I enjoy reading, posted:
I was talking to a nice woman who was getting cramps and who was waiting for her boyfriend to ride to the finish, get the car and come back to pick her up. We both looked at this guy in a Disco jersey who looked like he had a huge package. Then I realized that he had his shorts on backwards. Seriously, the ass pad was making him look like John Holmes. Sweeet. Then I rode home in the blazing sun and heat for beer and company. We had shrimp risotto, salmon with cilantro pesto, Greek salad, and brownies.
Pretty much without fail now, every time I am out riding, I check, at least once, to make sure that my tag is in the back and that my shorts are on the right way.
every friggin time
+1 for the power of suggestion.
