I hate myself almost as much as I hate people who make fun of my gangsta bike laying on its side with me still on it in full view of 500 bike tools. I have to move to a new town now.

I'm sorry man. I meant no disrespect or hurt.
In a few years or months, you'll be laughing about this incident in bed with a woman who makes this ex look like a dilapidated wart-hog.
Trust me! You looked like James Bond compared to some of the dumb $#it I've done over the years.
Time has a way of twisting our abysmal tragedies into hilarious triumphs.

-owning a bike and groupset that is way too fast for me
-having a old bike and old groupset
-secretly being very competitive when there's another rider on the road(usually I ride solo)
-more comfortable in the middle of the triple
-too fat to spend any more money on this sport

I learned a lot about electrolytes Saturday morning, about halfway into a 100k ride in 90+ degree heat. Some very nice people helped me lay down in the mud next to the trough full of ice and drinks at the sag station.

I don't have a compact, but both of my primary road bikes only have a 39/50 instead of a 53.

I got too drunk on Saturday night to make my Sunday morning ride. After watching the 2nd stage of Tour of Switzerland, I thought I was pumped enough for a 20 mile climp. Quit after 15

It's been so hot and humid on this god-forsaken coast that I'm finding it better to ride without sunglasses.
I swear it's cooler and they fill with sweat so quickly that they're hard to see through.
Helmet's next...

Went on a recovery ride on the bike triail this morning (stayed in the small ring the entire ride, never broke 20 mph), but I put on the full kit, right down to the team socks, hoping that Frederick von Mupster might try to give me The Look.
