I beg to differ, girl! You are riding; you are training. That is no joke!

I felt like a jock when some guy in pickup truck gave me this fist pumping thing and said, "I've got to hand it to you. That's dedication and I think what you're doing is MAGNIFICENT!" I was headed home, but that made me feel so good that I rode 10 more miles.

I'm such a jock....
...that one time on a bike ride, I threw out my back spinning around to follow a cool bird as it flew across the street!
Oooooo....
Creeped home and made an emergency call to my chiropractor!

Well, I felt like a jock the other day when I fixed my first flat all by myself- and got the tire back on the rim with my bare hands!!!!
But then again, my one and only fall so far was also at 0 mph. The very first time I stopped after trying my PowerGrip foot straps. Came to a halt, started thinking too much and....TIMBERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! 
Not very jockesque.
Ok yes I know I have now jinxed myself by saying I've only fallen once.
Wish me luck on my next fall which now will likely come any day.

Fun jock stories!!
I skied for three hours after I broke my tibia in a mogul crash. I stayed in a rugby game after I broke my nose (I just packed it with kleenex). I rode my bike home after I broke my wrist playing "rollerball" at the rink with some friends...it never occurred to me to call for a ride.
