Once ran a 5-miler. Reebok guy comes over and says "I'm gonna kick your ass." I look him over. "You mean running, right?" Reality startles him.. "uh, yeah." I smile. "OK." My roommate tells him to run along, while he's still able Off he goes. Race was at 7 pm, in July, in NC. Hot. Gun goes off, off we go. He's killing it. We stay sub-5 to the end, he wins , 25:00 to my 25:01. He collapses and they put him in the ambulance. I walk over to him, "Good race. I'm going to get a beer. Mind if I ---- your girlfriend?" Sometimes, the right words just come to me.
I don't think he liked me after that.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
Purchase an adult beverage of her choice for your girlfriend?
Buy some flowers for your girlfriend?
Take her out on the town and then end up back at your apartment where we can use your bed as a trampoline while writing on the ceiling with magic markers and therefore cause you to lose your damage deposit?
That last one sounds fun.

Uh, just what sort of 'Romance' novels do you write?
I fear you've fallen in with the proper company, God have pity on your soul.

Back story: 2 or 3 weeks before a 1/2 Ironman (oct 27) I had to stop running due to a back issue.

Hopefully, she's as good a writer as Joan Wilder. That lady was a great romance writer. She got to live out one of those fantasies as well.

You turn up a new Ironman yet? I'm planning on doing that Patriots day ride, by the way. I'll get to show off my Centurion!

Nah, I'm a trained journalist. My vocabulary is limited to a sixth grade level and I try to be concise.

Man I Like It....a LOT.
Better component group, wheels and tires. I'd use it (as is) as a get around Ironman.
Definitely a Fair Price.

Here's a pic.
Actually leaving it the way it is may be too quick handling for those used to hybrid bikes. Easy remedy, Change out the stem, bars And shifters and you got an upgraded Ironman.

If you want to rev it up, you have to put one of these on.

It was really easy to find them after that... Unfortunately, they keep doing it to my bike in the trainer...

For sure I'm quite old. "Back in my day we used balloons because they were 10 cents a package and cards were 1 dollar. The Balloons lasted only as long as needed til we lost interest". <<<all said in my old man voice.
My question, did anyone else ever use balloons?
