View Full Version : I sucked......

Short little after work ride, so short that I'm ashamed to mention the mileage, and I, in a way that could only be described as metaphysical, sucked.

The traffic was light but with the mood I was in, the presence of any car was aggravating. In other words it sucked.

The wind wasn't that bad but on this day it...sucked. When I turned around and discovered what I thought had been a neutral crosswind was really more of a tailwind, now a headwind, it really sucked.

The road wasn't bad and I usually love riding along the Indian River (aka Intercoastal Waterway) but today, ...... well I've already said it.

In fact the only thing that didn't suck was my 'Nago. With it's freshly scrubbed and lubed drivetrain it rode like a dream......

and I wasn't worthy of it.

But tomorrow is another day and the temp will be well into the 70sF. :D


Thanks for letting me drown my sorrow.

Oh, to be you in Florida.

Temps here in Minnesota were frigid to say the least. I hope your next ride goes better because you really should appreciate the ability to ride when we northerners risk frostbite. :P

Good Luck

Atleast you aren't surrounded by lake superior.
