A little amusing tale for you guys...
Last Saturday, it had been raining most of the morning and, though it had cleared, the weather threatened freezing rain. Hardly optimal cycling conditions. My main cycling buddy [Henry] and I decided that, in lieu of a ride, we'd go trail running on Mount Royal.
Some background might be appropriate at this point. Mount Royal is a park on the small mountain in the middle of the city of Monteal, from which the city [Mont Real] takes its name. The park was designed by Frederck Law Olmstead, and is considered by many to be his greatest achievement. It is part-lanscaped, but still very much wild, with some great trails for running, hiking and cross-country skiing.
It is also a popular cruising area for the local gay community.
Henry and I had a great run, and on the way back, he was talking about a new saddle he'd tried and how it had different pressure points than his old saddle. So I asked him what he was using to lube his butt/chamois...
To really understand this scene, you have to imagine two sweaty guys emerging from the woods on Mount Royal, walking into the parking lot, wearing tights and talking about what they use to lube their butts. A couple of beefy guys and their girlfriends were emerging from their car at that moment and overheard the tail end of our conversation... Should've seen the look we got when I put my hand on Henry's shoulder to balance myself while I stretched a quad.
If looks could kill...
