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

[mtbdarby]

I always shave my legs before I go mtb. I can pretty much guarantee bruising will occur, but just in case I, uh, earn some rash, it's easier to clean and heal with no hair around it (for bandage purposes).

To me it's not a good ride unless I get a little dirty, but I always start with some lip gloss or lip stick on.

boy, Dar, YOU sound HAIRY!

Boy, I leave for a few hours to work and this area has turned into a hairy, pink chapstick!

For the record, I never considered myself "prissy." Yeah, I tend to be a fashionista at times but in my work I have to deal with toxic art materials, boiling rabbit skin glue, power drills and sometimes, wading through horse manure.

In contrast, my friends include an ultramarathoner, an elite-level age grouper in both road/track tri and a former multi-day adventure racer. To them, anyone who refuses to pee on the run/bike or stops for minor things like, say, broken bones is considered on the wimpy side.

Why in the world they decided to adopt me as their pet project is beyond me, but there seems to be no going back. I feel like I'm in that scene from the movie "Freaks" when the carnival side show freaks stomp around and chant to the initiate: "We accept her, we accept her! One of us, one of us!"

I will get my revenge, though. By next season, they will all have freshly-pressed kits matching their bikes (with coordinating shoe covers), and maybe a little pink lipstick, too!

I do not doubt your ability to extract revenge on your buddies, but you'll have fun mtbing too!

Blue, I loved your post. It made me ROTFLMAO. Tho, I have to say that I think I agree with your friends. You might be a little "prissy". I'm glad they're getting you a MTB.

This reminds me of a story...

Oh maybe I should start another thread, as to avoid hijacking.

Well, I am a priss by mountain biking standards. I just got my bike and already asked DH if I can put grips on it in a cuter color. I also want a Primal Wear Dirt Princess jersey. It is pink of course.

I shave my legs just because..

Bluetree-happy to hear you've been introduced to people who do dirt Dirt is wonderful..

A little short story for you...When I purchased my Scott I refused to even look at the Scott Contessa FX 25 because it was pink
