I can't believe what I just did
I can't believe what I just did.........
I just got a call from my former boss and I turned down a 3 day, all expenses paid trip to Pinehurst to play golf, wine, dine, etc this Friday-Sunday. I had planned a training ride for this weekend and then I've signed up for a really, really challenging ride next Saturday. It is probably the equal to the Assault on Mt Mitchell and a ride I have not done before but one I've heard a lot about. If I played around in Pinehurst for 3 days, it would probably take me beyond next weekend to recover. So I declined the offer in order to do the ride next weekend and live to tell about it. I guess that also says I don't have the discipline to push myself away from the table, refuse the wine and get the rest I should get in Pinehurst. At least I've learned enough about myself the last few years to know my limits.......... Golf has been my top pursuit for 40+ years, but based on this situation can I assume cycling has now officially replaced it???? Where does this cycling stuff stop??? |
Dunno where it stops but turning down a jollie from the boss? Thats a serious bug you've got.

Smart move. Golf is nothing but a temptress. She gives you a little taste of honey, and then spits in your eye, laughs in your face, breaks your spirit and walks off with your money. Bicycles love you back.

Don't you all need to get a grip?

Sound like a serious passion to me. Turning down a vacation to be ready for ride, that's serious.
OBTW, I got my hole in one, now it's time to ride my age!:rolleyes: |
