I spent the weekend spending too much money on food, beer, and bike parts. Now I’m going to be poor for a week and a half. So much for being financially responsible.
I also almost hot hit by a car on Sunday night. It was dark, but I was well lit and wearing a reflective vest. The car coming up fast behind me left some tire on the road to keep from hitting me. It was certainly a bit of an adrenaline boost. The guy/gal driving was speeding and overtaking a car on the right when it happened. This was on Eastern Parkway. I had no time to react. I brushed it off at the time, but it’s been bothering me all day today.
I don’t need money to have fun. I met up with Tim for some more ‘cross after work today. I hadn’t bothered to bring cycling clothes to work with me, so I was riding a touring bike (with fenders!) on a ‘cross course while wearing business casual (I lean more to the casual side).
Normally, nobody would notice, but there was a sizable group of cyclists practicing. This group was nearly 50% women. Young, attractive, fit women. Yikes. I had to get out of there.
LOL. I know how you feel, (about the clothes,not the girls) . I forgot shorts last week and had to go to spin class in my jeans.
Young, attractive, fit women? Sounds like Mondays at the Cross track are the place to be!
We’ve done this a few Mondays now, and this was the first I saw this group. YMMV.
IMO, doing ‘cross practice in business casual makes you extra-awesome 🙂 I wonder if the group in question was gearing up for the Grand Prix?
