Your popping tar bubbles on the road. It's been hot enough here, I could probably set my bikes in the sun for a few hours and readjust the decals.

All very funny, but some are true, I usually ride early in the morning but I slept in today and didn't get out until noon. The country roads felt like I was riding on glue.

The chocolate chips in your granola bar burn your tongue!
The botton of your feet burn if you try to coast.
It's hotter going down the hill because of the hot wind.

People think you are a bad-ass just because you're riding, no matter what the speed....
(of course, your wife thinks you're stupid, but that's nothing new)
The Baptists are using sprinklers, and the Methodists are using wet washcloths....
Your Body Glide is running down your leg....
The trees are following the dogs around....
A Hutchison Equinox rolls fast.....
I had two frozen water bottles.
They were melted at 10 miles and hot by 20.

Your frame grew three sizes just from metal expansion.
Seriously, I'm putting off my evening ride until I'm sure my tubular glue has rebonded.
