Finally, someone who gets it.
I am here today because my legs are so sore from a 70 mile race yesterday that I can hardly walk.
Get out there and Ride Hard.
As mentioned, the jersey was a gift from the Duchess, and belittling it, belittles her. I rode to protect her honor, as she laboured to pick something for me that expresses her love. Had he mentioned my helmet, gloves, or chain I would have said, "ride on fa@@...er..darling."
