Yeah Gerry I got that T-shirt..
My thing is Single track, I don't race, I only seek the flow.
If I get up on ride day and have any out of the ordinary aches n pains I stay home, work on bikes, read, watch a little TV fire up the grill and do a steak ~n~ a bake and a couple of brewskies. Then I go toes up on the couch and saw wood all afternoon....
Then I get up before sunrise the next day and ride as hard as I can to where I am tank empty. I go for a total workout, been laughed at more than a few times when people see me running up the side of the levee with my bike over my head and I'm about to pass out or puke..
I love it so..
When your all healed up, burn it down and repeat, the High Is fantastic..
