I can't stand it when people decide you can't voice your opinion. If you don't want to say anything fine, but if I have something to say keep out of it....unless they want a dose too.

I hate it when they wave me through. I much prefer if they just take their damn turn. I especially hate the ones where I head-wag or wave them through, because it was their damn turn, and they try to wave ME through. They think they're trying to be nice, but at that point they're just being A-holes. The other thing is, it never seems to occur to some drivers that they're sitting in a dark room with a big, reflective surface in front of them and often you can't see their damn hands!

I had that thought too, but I was wearing their shirt and it’s their reputation, so I understand the reaction and will try to behave.

Wife woke up feeling sore, achy, and with a migraine. I woke up with some obvious respiratory limitations and minor aches, but fully functional for non-athletic endeavors. I mean, I could certainly do a light recovery ride, but it's raining anyway, so Mother Nature has kindly removed that temptation. It'll actually be nice to have a day off around the house, maybe get in a little shop time and do a little maintenance on the bikes.

See, this is exactly why I don't like riding in groups, you have to give up so much to conform. When I want to ride my bike I value the freedom to go where I want, when I want, and to do what I want to do. Why go out with other people exerting pressure on me? It's like going to work.

I try to not be too mean when I'm wearing shop logos.

I had to abandon my ride a few miles in tonight because of a general level of cluelessness and micromanagement at the top level that had me so pissed I wasn’t enjoying it. Never in my life have I felt so awful about working for someone. I’ve looked for opportunities to grow, but never just gave up and and wanted to quit with nothing lined up. Super frustrating and exhausting.
It’ll take me 6-9 months to find something comparable, which makes it even worse.
