General Cycling Discussion - greatest entrance EVER!

our tuesday night rides are at 5:30, and with my busy life i figured i could do that and get to my meeting at 7:00. being the VP of the club it would be who of me to show up, especially with elections comming up :eek: ! So there i was climbing the hill back up to campus and i turned toward the building, and i realized that the room is not on the groud floor :( so as i slamed on the breaks i hoped of the bike and opened the door, ran thought the commons (with 3 guys cheering me on no less) up 2 flights of stairs only to get back on my bike pedal to the room hop off the bike again open the door exhusted. when the door opens i am greeted by 1/2 the room laughing and the other half had this really puzzeled look on their faces. The Other officers i told i was going to be late asked if i could have been any later ;) I was then nominated for VP and tres. for the club and the meeting was over. I think i was there for a total of 5 mins and felt a little bad, but it wore off as i realized it was a good ride. Although i must say that is the BEST entrance i have ever made, if your going to be late you may as well be in spandex with a bike! :D

So were you elected to your respective offices? Spandex has its influencial capabilities. :)

election is next week, but i hope i get an office!

Moral to the story: arrive late to a meeting, huffing, in spandex and carrying your bike, and you'll get nominated for office.

Corrollary 1: Avoid arriving at meetings in this fashion like the plague.

Corrollary 2: Avoid such meetings at all, if possible.

Sweet entrance, BUT... first day of the new school year our cycling team president showed up in a team skinsuit, with a giant Baylor flag tied on as a cape, tightie whities died green on the OUTSIDE of his skinsuit and amber ski goggles. All the newbies were definately a bit put off. :-D

Strikingly similar actually...

Sounds like a good cyclocross dismount/mount. Maby incorporate your meeting building into a campus cross race this year :)

i take it that spelling and grammar doesn't count in these elections.

yeah.. if the damn language can't even follow it's own damn alphabet.. then why the crap should we bother with things like *grammar* and *spelling*... stupid damn english! :mad: :D

ok, so again today i came back from a ride only to find out the ride took me 10 min more than planned. Since i decided cut it close and only have 1:20 till my next class, i was in a bit of a pinch so i flew in an out of the shower only to show up 5 min late and still out of breath. The professor saw me come in and asked if it was a nice day out, i replied with some comment about how great it was. I noticed that i was still sweating from hauling butt to class, and felt strangly comfortable in class, i didnt even fall asleep. I think i might do this more often!
