February is in the Books

After yesterday’s disappointing attendance at the 5:45 am ride, Dan put out a list of 10 reasons he gets out of bed in the morning to ride.

1: Somebody else may be at the bridge and I wouldn’t want them to ride alone

2: If I don’t ride in the morning it just aint happening

3: By the time y’all decide to come back out I want to be in shape to drop your sorry asses 

4: Middle aged men in spandex should ride in the dark, sorry but that ought to be a rule

5: What else you gonna’ do between 5:00 and 7:15am, like Earl said “who are you kidding”

6: Somebodies got to ride more miles than Janet

7: My bikes like to get dirty, it sure beats gathering dust in the garage

8: The Fleche is less than five and a half weeks away…….just sayin’

9: I like to eat, so I gotta’ ride

10: I see the sunrise from the saddle almost every morning, why would I want to miss that

’nuff said? See you at the bridge!

Today, a total of 5 riders were out in a very light rain and 42° F.  Chris L was out.  It is always good to see him.  It was a morning of good conversation.  Again, what a great way to start the day.

February is in the books.  If I get time later today both bikes now need to be cleaned up after riding in wet conditions, so no more riding for February.

This Ride: 26 miles
Month: 388 miles
2013: 804.2 miles
Total since 1/1/2010: 20,577.1 miles
