Laughing on the Bicycle
Two times today on my solitary 61 mile ride, my mind wandered to something funny, and I started laughing out loud. I couldn't help it. I was tired, and it was funny. If anybody saw me, I probably looked like a complete idiot. A lumbering, laughing idiot on a bicycle.
Does this happen to anybody else?

You have to understand I was really tired. I was thinking, "I'm taking this century training way too seriously." Then I had this image of riding a century in a bath robe and flip flops, smoking cigarettes the whole damn way, with a supersized bag of Cheese Puffs duck-taped to the head tube.
At the time, that was crazy funny.

It had better... if it didn't, I probably wouldn't ride... hah...
When I'm not alone, it's me and my buddies reciting the script to the Ballad of Ricky Bobby...
What are you lookin' at, Popeye??

I don't know if I laugh much, but the stupid thing I do is talk to the animals...livestock, geese, turkeys...basically anything that isn't chasing me. I pretty much just say hi to them. I don't know why I do it. I'd probably look less foolish if I just rode along laughing for no apparent reason.

Last time I laughed while riding was when this guy looked like he was going to sprint and then stopped pedaling and scratched his calf.
