Just 99 miles to go

Ow, my nipples hurt.

I swear the more I ride the more shit I come up with.
My wife is starting to think I’m more and more a fruit.
Last week I told her I bought some leg warmers to wear with shorts instead of tights.
She looked at me and said "that is so gay".
Yesterday after my ride I’m complaining to her about my nipples hurting.
I better hit the weight tonight and re-affirm my manhood to her.

Its this heavy weight cannodale jersey they bought me for xmas last year.
After an hour with that scratchy wet material it starts to irriatate.
I set her straight.
"That jersey is meant for the bulk of cyclists. Flat chested single speeders. Not "manly men" with 52" chests"
Sorry to all my single speeding buddies, but I was trying to defend my man-hood.

So this weekends riding.
Sorry nothing new and exciting to report.
I wanted to head north for a bunch of rides on Sunday but I wasn’t up to par yet.
Hit Cedarville Saturday for a spin to see how the legs felt.
Not a good day. I underdressed. The weather forcast was for for low 40’s but it never got above 37.
I was soaked with sweat and started to get chilled. The riding wasn’t really fun for me so called it quits after 10 miles.

With everything not feeling good Saturday I decided not to ruin anyone elses ride by tagging along and hit Cedarville up again on Sunday. It actually got up to 47 and I pulled the ipod back out. It was a good ride. I hit up all the trails just trying to get some miles in. My goal was atleast 20 miles.

Than at 17 miles I lost motivation , or more exactly the ipod battery died.
I didn’t realize exactly how much I depend on that thing for motivation until I didn’t have it.
I tweaked out another 4 1/2 miles none the less, sore nipples and everything. WORK THROUGH THE PAIN!!!!!

I’m close to being back to pre-bug fitness.

A grand total of 31.5 miles of of riding this weekend.

To change the subject,
I got a free dvd when I bought my trainer back in May (Remember the whole injured knee thing) and just did open and watch it Saturday night. As memory serves me, its part of the "carmichael" series, the time trials workout.
What a boring piece of shit.
I was just skimming through it to see the content and it wasn’t holding my attention.
I would be pissed if I had actually paid good money for it.
What kind of motivation is a video of 6 cyclist in a room raising and lowering their pace as their coach tells them to.
Its going right in the trash.
I’d never watch this while on the trainer.

You nipples hurt because they are erect, and they are erect because you are thinking of skinny singlespeeders in tight shorts. I agree with your wife, you are gay. Come out of the closet into the community. The community of big burly gay bicyclists.
