Today I spared the air! For the first time this year I finally got off my butt and rode to work (Coker). I feel good! And out of shape!
Today’s quote comes from a runner, going the other way on the American River Bike Path:
“Open your mouth wide—you can have lots of bugs for breakfast!”
I never heard that one before. Oddly, I met him right where I turn off onto the dirt for my shortcut out to the neighborhood.
I only saw two other bikes on my whole 3-4 mile stretch of bike path. During the summer it’s a dozen minimum, usually more. I saw about 10 runners, and 1 inline skater. So I’m not the only lazy one this time of year.
Quote #2, from a lady who held the door of my building open for me: “Where’s the rest of it?” I said I left it at home; it’s too heavy.
Yeah, that’s right, last night while SteveOwe and I were riding on some short walls downtown, this lady walks by and yelled “Hey, did ya’ll know tomorrow is Johnfoss’s birthday?”
How about “Det är fel säsong for det.” to which I replied “Nej, det är perfekt!”.
In English that’s “Bad time of year for that” and I said “No, it’s perfect!”
I think he was talking about the continual snowfall we’ve had the last few months. Personally, I think all the snow lets me improve my MUni skills.
Easy. If you were riding your unicycle in a century ride, you’ve got balls!
I remember once when I was in the middle of a very long ride on my old 45" big wheel with “regular, old-school Schwinn” seat. A guy holding a beer on the side of the trail said “You’re nuts!” My reply? “That’s all I’ve been thinking about these pase few miles–my nuts!”
For Jagur:
Actually I did do a search. I looked for “quote of the day” and there wan’t one. That’s what this thread is. We’re good for a couple of weeks at this point…
