Dear So and So

[run it, ride it]

Dear Mother Nature.

Look, we get it. You're in charge. You own us. We are at your mercy. But haven't the past few weeks been just a little unnecessarily cruel?

One week it's -20C and overcast, next it's 18C and sunny, and now it's -4C and snowing? You give us a mere TASTE of spring, then throw it back in our faces? This is hella unfair.

Regards,
Frozen Cyclist

To the jerky dude cyclist,

I was minding my own d*&n business riding a straight line, not weaving, not yo-yo-ing my speed. Doing a respectible 20+MPH and when you past me on my left. You didn't even call out. So why the F*&k did you lauch that snot rocket. I almost ran into it. for what ever reason, when you went past, I drifted to your left side and you Mr. A__hole, you launched it on your right side. YOU MISSED!!

Then to the two boys, one riding a brand spanking new Colnago with Record component, next time please ask if you want to draft off of me. You are a big boy and so was your friend. Back off! I not only had to keep my eye on the road, I needed a second set of eyes on back of my head to keep an eye on you two. With such nice bike and nice component, surely you could have past by me. I was only doing 23MPH. I'm out of shape pld bitty.

GRRRR

Dear wind gods.

You were very tough on our good pal Denise (AKA Running Mommy) today. You whipped her hard and sent her out on the run with nothing left in her legs. Well, she worked her azz off for a PR at IMAZ. Not only did you take her PR away, she couldn't finish in time for the cut-off.

You're mean and you better make it up to her somehow this year. Maybe you can convince the lottery gods she needs a little cash, or ask the gods in charge of health to leave her alone for awhile.

Dear so-and-so
If you told me once, three of four months ago that I could keep my bike upstairs, and I politely declined because after a 10mi hammerfest carrying a 30# bike up 4 stories felt like a death sentence, please remember that at one point in time that option was available to me.

Today, after my ride in, I didn't have my lock so I carried my bike up the 4 floors (because the building manager specified no bikes in the elevator) and asked politely if that option was still available. You not only told me you didn't remember having ever told me that, you also went to the office manager to inquire. You weren't polite about it, came back to me and said "He's not thrilled, it's only okay on an exception basis." WTF. You were the one who looked into bike parking for me!

GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Kit, maybe there are creative ways to get around this rule. If you disassembled your bike in the office, it wouldn't be a bike, it would be 2 wheels and some other parts. You could hide parts in dozens of different places. I think this is a challenge your devious mind can easily conquer, while making obvious the inaneness of the current policy.

ROTFL!

Okay, I gotta get in on this thread...

Dear Rude Patient,

Thank you for throwing the cup of grape juice at my head! Very original, as the guy in the room next door just cursed. Please keep in mind that i'm here to HELP you, to assist your doctors in finding out what is wrong and to treat you, so you can get back out there in public and throw stuff at other people. If you don't want to get better, then please go back home, so the car accident victim can have a room now.

Sincerely,
Your friendly "Wake Up Call".

I wonder do you have janitorial staff. stayed at a hotel where the janitorial staff let me lock my bike up in the basement on the level that says "no guests" cause they treat people like crap down there. They usually know all the hiding spots, and hate managers so they never tell..

Dear MS 150 team leader,

Next time you hear a rumor that I will not be riding the MS 150, please ASK ME FIRST if it is true. Please do NOT take it upon yourself to contact the director of the local MS society to ask what to do with the money I have raised. Instead, check with me because I INTEND TO RIDE EVERY frickin' INCH of the ride!!!
sheesh!!!
