I don't have the option of commuting and and trying to find time to ride these days hasn't been easy. <BR/><BR/>I was in such a foul mood last night that I really didn't feel like riding at all. But at some point I concluded that I just to needed to spend some time on the trainer and I'd feel a little better. But when I got down to the basement I realized the place was total disaster from all the work I've been doing down there. But instead of giving up for good, I decided to go for a night ride outside. And so I grabbed my lights, bundled up, and headed out into the dense fog. And it was definitely the right decision and it probably saved me from totally losing it!<BR/><BR/>But then on my way home, Mr. Joe Fixed Gear blows by me, just so he can sit in front of me. I speed up, he speeds up. I ease left, he eases left. At first I'm itching to blow by him, and stare him down like I'm Bernard Hinault or something . . . but then I said, "you know what, I'm not going to let this guy ruin the only thing that's gone well this week. He can have it." And just as I'm finishing that thought, Mr. Joe Fixed gear turns right and in a moment he's lost forever in the thick fog.<BR/><BR/>A lesson from the cycling gods I thinkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45213732278268908.post-82005757435402161732008-02-06T17:08:00.000-08:002008-02-06T17:08:00.000-08:00You don't smell...I am just sleeping in way too mu...You don't smell...I am just sleeping in way too much!!!<BR/><BR/>Wait till Thursday - my bike will be strapped to me and I will be by your side. <BR/><BR/>It is on!BF kemyooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518316000445907924noreply@blogger.com
