    If you're feeling better by Tuesday, we got gold sprints at the handlebar on Manchester in Tower Grove. It would be ****ing epic to be smoked by someone I met on the internet. It's a lot of fun too, and we don't take it too seriously (I do).

    Pretty sure its this week, but if not, definitely next week.

    I don't know if that's going to work. Cycling season just started for me and, honestly, I'm not going to have time.

    Drop the road cycling thing and get on the track racing scene. A bunch of us guys (me included) will be first-timers. Personally, I can see myself preferring riding in an arbitrary circle, as fast as ****ing possible. On a fixed gear.

    Your call dude. I understand you have your priorities. You gotta understand that I'm trying to get you into something pretty sweet though.

    Gotcha. I just want you to know that if I wasn't on my school's team--which is required to meet the athletic requirement--I would definitely be all over track riding/racing.

    Athletic requirement? Weak. What kind of school enforces such a policy that would inhibit their students from pursuing their own interests?

    Not hating on you. Just your school lol. I've been through three high schools; public, military boarding, and Catholic. The only one that did that was Missouri Military Academy in East Jesus, MO. That school sucked so ****ing hard, and they had the same policy. Good job, school admin, you passed a ******** ass policy. Hope tuition justifies such a ****ing fallacy.

    I assume the athletic requirement is to keep kids from getting fat. Which is a good thing.

    Sure, it just sucks when it gets in the way for the kids that aren't. Sure, you could force only the fat ones over a certain BMI (which is bull**** in itself), but that would be unfair, not politically correct, and would result in an overly litigious **** show.

    Your school would best just offer vegan options at lunch. That way, if you're not fat, bring your own ****. But no, that would make way too much sense.

    Pizza is a vegetable.

    At my high school, if I was in a varsity sport I got to skip gym class and have a study hall instead. Win.

    I don't care what the government says. The government, as it seems, are bunch of ****ing stooges (no offense to anyone affiliated, I'm sure there are exceptions). It just seems like the ones that want to think for themselves while making money go private sector. Maybe the govs have an actual devotion to public service. It's just too bad so many of those clowns actually believe pizza is a vegetable (or is it just a result of the corn subsidy constituents).

    At your school, make them offer only humus, flatbread, tortilla and vegetables. See how many fat kids bring in their pizza, and see that a school trying to fix that problem won't do didily squat.

    Here are a couple of reasons/an explanation of why we have an athletic requirement:

    1. Grade 9-10 has to participate in 2 sports each year (we have trimesters)
    2. 1 of those sports can be "fitness" (which is pretty much 3 hours at the gym each week)
    3. Grades 11-12 only have to participate in 1 sport/fitness each year.
    4. We have no offered PE in high school.

    I think that is fair.

    I do ride my FG quite often. I simply don't see myself having enough time to do both. Cycling is a varsity sport.

    Even when it is partially ****ing you over since you don't have time for multiple styles of riding because of your school? You're way too tolerant, I'm extremely intolerant. Our balance would be a wise fellow.

    And the fact that they don't offer PE is hilarious and example of fixing what isn't broken. Sure, give the kids more time for actual education, but take away their free time, which for me, in high school, was equally important in terms of growth and enjoyment.

    All I am saying is that your school sounds like a load of ****ing revolutionaries that don't think their **** through. No offense to your parents for sending you there.

    Really? No. What I didn't mention is that you can get a season pass for a sport outside of school if you really want. Most of the kids who do that are gymnasts or dancers but track cycling might count too.

    Not sure why you're getting so worked up about it...? His school's situation sounds fair to me. I'd much rather play a real sport than go to gym class.

    Rebalancing school lunches is great, but so is exercise.
