There were a lot of reasons to just forego the ride and get down to socializing - a frozen free hub out of the parking lot, a rapidly draining camera battery, and raw temps.
However, big points were at stake and the chance of getting stranded out in the county on a broken bike, with no means of documenting it, battling the elements, was worth the payoff.
Sundays a new ride though and really, the temps can't get any colder, right?

What have Demi Vollering and Lenny Martinez got in common? One thing is
they both told their teams they were leaving earlier this season and
quickly felt...
Manny, I hope that you are describing a fish you once caught because if not, I think that may be a gross exaggeration.
ReplyDeleteSweet ride. The Butcher
the real conversation;
ReplyDeleteMANNY: "Chico, asian eggrolls do come this big"
CHICO: "How do you say...Liar"
MANNY: "No!!! not when its this cold out."
I think Chico put something in my drink on Friday, I just got out of bed and still can keep food down. I could not battle the flu to keep in the elite 4, so good luck to the last 3 !! Hope Sunday was a good ride.

Russ you should have tuffed it out and used the 5 Km rule to your advantage. There is no way you should not have used this opportunity to stick it to Chico just a little.
