And even if you weren't, you're HAPPY ABOUT THE RIDE. And isn't that what we're all paying for?
Let's face it boys, on one level even the most successful amateur racer is OCP. Unless they're paying you all that bike schwag is an expensive hobby*. Of course I look at it this way: since I started riding again (2 years ago April 15) I've spent about $11K on bike crap. And lost 40lbs, lowered my BP and cholesterol and my resting pulse went from 75BPM to about 45. I know plenty of 49 year old guys who would gladly pay $11K for that. And I got to do 25,000 miles of fun bike rides in all kinds of pissy weather too! Is everyone enjoying the lovely April Spring weather?? It was snowing @ the Yankees game in the Bronx last night.
