Uhm a few points if I may.

1.)When I fall asleep, alone, around midnight, I get up at about 7 am. This is a decent hour in my eyes. I can make a protein shake and hit the asphalt. When I have company, and I eventually fall asleep 2-3am-ish, I sleep till 9 or 10. Guess what? I still wake up, have a protein shake, and the asphalt is still there. It is in fact hotter, probably 10-15 degrees hotter, and it does suck exponentially more for that. But every-time I hit that grade and my hip flexors ache, I realize WHY they ache, I push aside the ghey in my mind, and I make it to top with a ****ing smirk.

The only difference? I shower after I ride when I'm alone. I shower BEFORE and AFTER I ride on they days I'm not alone. Don't want to add yet another funk to the chamois.

2.) Women like shaved legs. Period. /Thread

3.) Most women (my future ex-wife Velo Gator who doesn't know I'm a lurker doesn't count) don't like men with big legs and small upper bodies. But they also don't like guys with built torso's and chicken legs. What women DO like (besides you to have a job) is for you to be proportionate. Its a hell of a lot easier to put on some mass upstairs than it is the legs. On your off day, hit the gym for a half hour, balance out your body. This brings me to point
3.5) ^ Hitting the gym is necessary for putting your back into it and throwing your partner around in the bedroom / taking charge.
3.75) Hitting the gym is also necessary for keeping the fear of god in your woman when / if you do decide to commit in a relationship. That, and making sure you leave a shovel and bag of rock salt in plain view.

Long story short..

YOUR NOT THAT COOL. YOUR NOT THAT IMPORTANT. Exercise some time management.

Signed,
Your Penis.

My suggestion is to wear a coordinated kit, preferably a pro team kit, and not just black shorts with a "funny" image jersey.

LOL at shaved legs. I thought many of you were joking about this but I realize most of you really do shave your legs. Maybe I should shave my legs so I can go faster.

Last month I was dating a woman who soon revealed herself to be very self-absorbed. When I would talk about planning or preparing for a long ride, she would criticize and ridicule me. "Why do you want to do that?" "It's not good for you." etc etc... Soon I realized that her negative feedback had no basis in genuine concern for me, it was born out of her self-absorption. My riding didn't serve her. So you know what? I dumped her like a bag of dirt. I'm now dating a woman who is herself a devotee of personal training and fitness. At 56, she has a hard sexy body any 25 year old would admire. And when I discuss my riding, she asks questions, engages, compliments and encourages me. Now, given my history with women, the relationship won't last long, but it won't be because she discourages my physical activity. There, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
