What the body does not need- it looses. You spend months getting into shape, get hit by a car, end up in rehab after multiple surgeries with 30 % of your prior muscle and think wtf. However through all that stress and trauma the body is seamlessly using and doing what it needs for it to survive. A marvel of efficiency.

Even though I did five double centuries last year, I still feel like a cycling fraud because I don't race. I rarely wear my California Triple Crown jersey because I don't feel worthy.
I like that my new Roubaix's more upright position means my neck doesn't hurt after a century, but feel guilty because I'm sure I should be in a flat-back racer position.
I think all the local cyclists look silly in their lycra kits, but still somehow imagine I look cool in mine.

1) I dream of crushing the souls of skinny little pompous biker maggots, but I wake realizing that I am way to big and fat for that.
2) I am convinced that my Orca makes me a better/faster rider.
3) I still obsess over why I didn't either get the license plate number of his truck or call out the guy who stopped and threatened to kick our asses a few weeks ago. Stupid south central rednecks!
2) I can't even count the number of reasons I wouldn't be qualified to become a U.S. Navy Seal.
