I'm too "Prissy", so I'm told

[bouncybouncy]

What wonderful friends you have!!! I am sure it is in your better interest and you may fight it...kicking and screaming...denying all your prissyness until you have completely overcome the withdraw & anger stages!!!


You may not see it yet, but trust me, follow your friends thru that dirty tunnel and the reward will be invigorating!!!!


...and as always rubber-side-down!

[Running Mommy]

Now THAT made me lol!!

I have been imortalized on video stating my disdain for all things mtn biking.

We were on a trip to moab (husband and all his friends) when I screamed at the camera as I was bombing down a hill "MOUNTAIN BIKING SUCKS"....

I shall never live that one down.

Every once in awhile I get the urge to "get dirty" but for the most part I prefer asphalt under my tires.
My husband and son on the other hand.... sigh... Dirty boys to the CORE!

[caligurl]

GEEZ.... nothing wrong with being prissy.... and you can be a durty gurl and prissy, too! i hate tan lines... bruises... dirt... i have to match.... (and love pink mountain bike stuff!) oh... but sorry... i do NOT do snot rocket... EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

so you just continue your prissy ways..... it's OK!!!!!!

Rubber Side Down, FTW!

I'm a sissy when it comes to my mtb-ing. I've seen enough nasty injuries to know enough to be careful... Y'know, N-shaped collarbones and the like? I keep enough gauze etc in my bag on 'serious' trips (where I can foresee needing it...) just b/c I don't trust anything...

Still... "Prissy" to me, is "oh, I don't want to get my clothes dirty" or "*GASP!* I tore my windbreaker!" nothing you should be wearing to MTB should be that good. Baggy cargos and bleeding forearms and calves ftw. Treehugging... (half crashing and grabbing a tree to stay up) ground-eating (mmmmm taste that dirt!) and RSU maneuvers (Rubber-Side-Up) are my forte... not that I want to... and nothin' like raspberry marks on your hips from sliding. yow. Snot rockets, bloody marks, sweat and tanlines... the 'fake tan' from dirt and dust clinging to sweat... These are a few of my favorite things...

q, though,
I patched out on gravel a couple months ago on one knee, and though I debrided it as much as I could etc, and it healed fine, it looks like it's still got some black tattooing from the gravel debris... anyone know if that ever completely works its way out?

*gasp* but i only buy CUTE mountain biking clothes!!!!!!!

[spokewench]

Ah, Bluetree - the mountain bike world is a wonderful place!

Here are some tips so that you can keep up your "prissiness" even while mountain biking!

Always wear short black socks - not white - oh they will get way too dirty!

Yes, you can wear lipstick at the beginning of the ride, just to make sure you don't lose your "prissiness".

And, of course, you can still match - just watch the light colors and white they don't do well off road.

Those friends of yours are going to have a hard time keeping you from being "prissy"

Black and Grey and earthy colors ftw. Oh, they can be cute, but bear in mind that you're going to eventually destroy them if you're riding right. Plow into a holly tree or raspberry bush or whatnot once and it's gone. Bleed on light pants or socks? Gone. Prissy little spd shoes do *not* do well when you've got to lift the ol' bike and carry it over a log bridge (that passes over water that you don't want to fall into...)

Cute clothes... heh. they're only as cute as the tough-as-nails chica wearing 'em.

[caligurl]

OK.... i have to know.... what is FTW??????????????????

OH!! i wear lipstick at the beginning of mtb or road rides! AND.... if i'm not wearing ear covers to keep them warm.... i wear little fake diamond stud earrings on the bike, too!!!!

and sometimes i actually paint my nails to match my outfit!

hmmmmmm i don't own white mtb shorts but i do have light light tan ones! and i have the cutest light pink socks!!!!!


(told you all i was a PRISS months and months ago!!!!!)

[BoPeep]

I can naswer that one....nop. I still have gravel in my elbow from a road crash that saw me over the handlebars and airborne into the gravel at the side of the road......25 years ago.

[KnottedYet]

Well, you know what they say, "Femme in the streets, butch in the sheets."

Be sure to let us know how your 10k goes, Boytree!

This is funnier than the numbskull over at BF who mistakenly assumed that I must be describing my physical attributes in my avatar signature (same as here, Lanky Lass).
