Yet they are calling for more rain for the weekend. That leaves today and tomorrow as my ride days. Tonight shale be a night road ride. I can't take it anymore. Blah,blah,blah.........
Of course you have heard me whine enough. I did get my "old" road bike out last night and got it moving. It didn't take much considering I just parked it 3 weeks ago. All I had to do was put a seat back on it and it's ready to go. The reason for that? Because if it rains I am gonna ride it instead of my new bike.
Sooner or later it will get brought out and ridden in the rain. But not yet, it's still to new. I haven't even had to wash it yet! Besides, that's what old bikes are for. It doesn't look like I will ever mountain bike again. At this point in time I would have to drive to Uhwarrie if I wanted to and I don't want to ride all the way over there. I think I am gonna turn into a roadie and just sell all my mountain bike stuff.
On a serious note I think I am gonna sign up for Bicycling magazine's "Fall Classic" road ride. It's usually some where around October. Last year I talked about it and didn't do anything to make it happen. That was the same approach I used for the MS150, and that was a mistake. This was the year I planned to do the MS and ride to the beach. Guess what, they changed it up this year. For this first time ever it starts and finishes at the beach. I always wanted to be able to say I road to the beach. Now I will have to wait and see if they change it back to the ride from Charlotte deal.
In other words I took to long to go ahead and do it. I don't want to make the same mistake with this ride. This will be the fourth year. My luck it might be the last if I don't go ahead and do it!!!!
Besides it's in Pennsylvania, I can always see my brother......
