Sat Ride (Clyde Power) 1/5/12

I say Clyde power because we caught a Clyde and instead of playing hero and sprinting around after sucking wheel, he came to the front and offered help. Pretty rare thing nowadays from what I see.

With Gina still sick, Jose and I headed out alone. Jose is a pretty strong rider but never really get to show his stuff since he usually rides behind Gina and I when we ride. Today was his chance. We rotated at the front which made for a nice break between pulls. About 3 miles from the coast we ran into a dude I had met at the beach stop before. I was really surprised as most times you pick up a rider, he sucks wheel then sprints around trying to drop us. This guy was cool, we rode up on him but immediately he came to the front and offered to pull. Made for a nice ride and at 6'4, a good draft for me ha ha! We spoke at the beach for a bit and it turns out we had a chat last year. New bike, now I see why I didn't recognize him! Nice steel Torelli! Pretty sure his name is Tim.

Jose and I were resting at the coast when others came up, Alex2,, Terrible Tim, Jordan with his flat, and another dude I hadn't seen in a while. Dan and his Bianchi sportin' a thin saddle he describes as carbon fiber on a potato chip. Man that thing is thin!

Jose and I ended up heading out alone but soon ran into Evil Euro. Funny , we rolled by and I didn't even recognize the guy. Maybe cause he's been working out, a little body sculpting maybe? He did catch back yup to us once he realized who we were ( I think). Either way, it was cool to chat with him for a short while.

Strange thing, on the way back I saw Tammy turn around right before we approached. She started kicking it up but I couldn't figure out what she was doing. After a mile or two I see Alan heading to the coast. I'm not sure but I think he was crying. Then I see Tammy turn around again and head after Alan. Ah, now I see, Tammy was riding circles around him. Poor Alan, he looked pretty beat and Tammy looked like she was having fun working Alan. ;-)

Ohhh buddy, you just wait for summertime!

Of course you will have to view the video on my blog when it happens. Well, when they happen. I plan to make more than one bikini video this summer. It's the reason I started my blog couple years back. This year...... High def video and slow mo bikinis!

Hahahaha! You know the reason I caught her in slo mo is because another rider/friend/faithful blog viewer of mine saw her roll by couple months back and said "I love that gal". She is an odd one but she's out there ALL THE TIME!. In summer, she wears an open blouse with a bikini type and shows a lot of flesh and silicon.

He's always tells me how much in love he is when she rolls by. So the scene was for him (she looks alot better in summer, you'll see ) .

Matter of fact, he sent me a text message after he saw the video.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The exchange:

Loverboy: Dude, I saw the video, you got my honey in slo mo just for me didn't you?

Mr Beanz: Yeah, I figured you'd catch on to that. She was there but she was all covered up cause it was real cool.

Loverboy: That's ok, you got some leg in the shot and that is enough for me.

Mr. Beanz: Well wait till it warms up, she'll be back to her usual outfit, but I figured you'd know I threw here in the video just for you.

Loverboy: I appreciate it cause you know I love that girl.
