a muddy lunchtime ride should Never induce a walk of shame - rather a walk of pride and accomplishment and make those co-workers just drool that They didn't think of it! better yet ------- ask Them to get your towel for you as your ride (and say it loudly and proudly) left you muddy and you don't want to get them dirty!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
