Bike Forums - Addiction 2021.4

I went to the old club ride start today and went with the A group with the intention of cutting it short. It was a 95 mile loop and 4 of us just did about 70. I felt like crap in the first 15 miles and I was embarrassed at how bad I was riding but they kept waiting and encouraging me. There was a break at 25 miles so I took a long pull after that to show my appreciation. It was a really nice day and we even had tailwind for miles toward the end.

At the start I saw a friend on his return to the club after a horrible crash early last year. He is still facing more surgeries and I was surprised to see him out. I hope he doesn't have any more problems.

But isn't there supposed to be some kind of cycling contest or something going on around here?

We're obviously all taking it very seriously.

I went longer than intended today, to help out the team.
Also cause I was having fun. The first ten km I had never ridden, and the next stretch only once prior.

I had grilled chicken breast, baked potato and green beans. Water to drink.
Stuck it to big soft drink.

Are you a country music fan or did the title catch your eye? You don't strike me as a country fan. No offense intended, if so. I like older country music.

I am a lover of music, high and low, from gut bucket to gamelan. Country is not my favorite genre, but I do enjoy a lot of it up through the 1960s and some more recent artists who maintain the tradition, such as Dwight Yoakam.

I heard “Too Much Month” on the radio years ago and loved it.

Grilled chicken bread? Was it made by chickens or did it have chickens in it?

this is as close as I've gotten to that

That's pretty sad, considering that drone workers, whether it's at a fast food joint or a big box store, seem to be starting at $15+/hr these days. Crazy.

Drone workers have to pay for their gender studies degree.

I had a Chick Fil A sandwich for lunch yesterday. I eat more chicken than any man ever seen.

I'm disappointed East coasters have not been overwhelming the BF servers by posting pics from this event. Oh well, there's still tomorrow I suppose...
