I'm in the depths of the most incredibly passionate crush! Like a teenager! Huge obsessive crush! I can't stop thinking about her! I look at her, and she just seems to sparkle. She makes me laugh out of sheer giddy happiness. I could spend hours with her, a whole DAY with her, and still want to spend more time with her! I can't imagine ever being bored with her company.

When I want to ride fast, she doesn't mind going fast. When I want to putter along and admire the view, she does, too. A ride with her is the highlight of my week. I don't want it to end.

I touch her, and I can just feel my body temperature rising. She makes me sweat, and gives me chills. She makes me weak in the knees (or is that the tall seat post?). She sends tingles up and down my spine (or is that the short stem?). She makes my hands shake (or is that the 42 cm Cinelli bars when I really need 38 cm "Short and Shallow"?)

The ride today was stellar. I have some things to work on (bars, stem, tape, core strength, shoulder strength, self control) but then the fit should be just about perfect. I need to learn to STOP when my neck and scaps start spasming, though. But riding was such fun! But I hurt so bad right now. Too bad I can't teach the dog to walk on my back...
