Well it's been a long time coming but I finally rode in this morning. :D
I play soccer and touch football throughout the spring and summer so between game nights and practices I don't do any communiting in the mornings to save my legs. Usually I only get rides in on the weekends. So here it was, last night was our last league soccer game and I said to myself "self, tomorrow you're riding in".
So the game ends and whadda ya know? There happens to be a couple cases of beer. So after five beer (Papst Blue Ribbon....completely foreign to a Canuck like myself) I decide I'd better let my wife drive home, where, upon entry, I have another beer (good Canadian stuff now though mind you). So I think hey, it's 9:30pm, i'm half in the bag, I should probably have a heaping bowl of frozen yogurt with banana cake and chocolate sauce.....and another beer. So now it's 12:30am and I can't sleep because appearantly chococalte sauce has sugar (who new) but I'm too tipsy to focus on the TV. So I get to sleep some time after 1:00am and five hours later "......temperatures reaching a high of 19 celcius with winds from the west at 17kms/hour". Why is my radio on? Why does my head hurt? Oh ya....I'M AN ASS!!!
So I get up loathing the fact that "self" has made the decision to pick this morning as a first commute instead of the "sick day" it should be "I'm sorry, I can't make it in today I think I have meningoproctosis..iss".
20 minutes later I get on the saddle. Mountain Bike of course 'cause I'm too lazy to transfer my gear back onto the roadie and LIFE JUST SUCKS and STUPID BEER! :mad:
Then you know what? Spin, Spin, Spin PUSH PUSH PUSH........
32kms in just over an hour, averaging about 28kms with wind to spare! Oh I can feel my bruised quad where I was tackled and put to the ground rather unceremoniously on the pitch last night but baby, I'm back and lovin' every minute of it.
WOW do I feel good.
p.s. Somebody call my wife and tell her I'm sorry for the booze induced snoring.
