"Chicked"

I managed to chick my husband twice on an organized ride last Sunday, once on an uphill and once on a downhill. Chicking him is a rare event as he's a much larger, stronger, and more experienced rider than I am. He's always a good sport about it and even brags to his friends that his wife is getting so strong that she can chick him now. I love my husband!

I doubt I will ever see this day. My hubby has been riding regularly for at least 5 years longer than I have (probably closer to 10, really) and is simply a natural jock--his parents were both jocks and DH has amazing VO2 max and a barrel chest with quads to match. I'm a tiny-lunged asthmatic and hail from an almost entirely inactive bunch of wide-loads. limewave has ridden with my DH and can attest to his beastiness. I'm just happy when I can sorta keep up, heh. :p

^^Yes, he be a beast. I drafted behind him once in a group ride--best draft ever. I'm hoping to catch his wheel for LJ100!

The JDRF team used to call him "The Whomper," years ago...I guess it's a sailing term. He's great to draft behind. There's another guy on the team who's even taller. He got behind me once and said "Kirsten, you're not very effective at blocking wind, you know!" :p

:D At 5'3.5" and 155#s I am the tallest and thinnest woman in my family by a pretty large margin. The crazy thing is that my brother is 6'3" and not heavy. We're not sure where he got those genetics... :confused:

This past winter, I was introduced to the term "geezered" while skate skiing - getting passed by older men. I had first passed this group of men who commented to me, while laughing, "hey we just got chicked!" and then about 10 minutes later, they passed me and told me I just got "geezered. "It was all in good fun and no one took it seriously. Just enjoy the ride (or ski).

I love that! I've been 'geezered' many times.
