Long Distance Blues

[architar]

Driving back from yesterday's 300, sweaty, chafed about the nether regions, and all wore out, I descended into the final control...the post ride funk. What had I accomplished? A step towards world peace? A cure for the common cold? Fortune and fame? Nope, none of the above. Nada.

Bones aching as I made my many trips to the bathroom on wobbly old legs, I reflected on the experience...a particularly cruel sun beating down, rain washing sunscreen into stinging eyes, cramps attacking on both climbs over that small dimple of a hill at Manchac...maybe I'm getting too old for the game. Maybe even time to move on. Only one to do...

Today I hopped on the internet and dropped $231.63 on new bike stuff! Yes sir, that'll do it (and as REM might say, I feel fine).

Vive Le Bike!

Stevie, you poor thing. I hope you got some good stuff! Congrats on another 300 km :)

Stevie,

Think of how much money you saved by being away from your computer for 17.5 hours!

I spent money online yesterday too, on some carbon premium pain relief insoles. I hope your investments were thoughtfully chosen, and I hope my investments pay off. 😏

Erin, I ordered up some new gatorskins, tubes, cleats, and, just to be like my heroine Erin, a set of Candy 3 pedals!
