    I'm sorry MP, that bike is just ugly. Send it to me, I'll take care of it for you. ***did she fall for it?**



    Hissy fit? Did someone get cranky?

    Hoo, meee, cranky??

    I was so freakin' whupped on the Morgan Territory climb that at the rest stop at the top of the climb I parked my bike and just sat for a bit. Then I started to get re-organized, but by then all I wanted was to just stop and be done with it; I was actually crying a bit at the thought of getting back on my bike(!!).

    My poor coach (who is a stickler for taking very brief stops) then asked me if I was ready to go. At about that point I was ready to just pick up my goddamn bike and throw it over the fence. Instead, I threw the rest of the sandwich I was trying to force down.

    Heh, I'm nothing if not a prima donna.

    I then got back on said goddamn bike and continued on the ride. Fortunately for me, and for all concerned , it was practically all downhill from there, so I was feeling much better (physically and oh-so-emotionally) by the end of the ride.

    That's a beautiful bike, MP! Just lovely. The way you are lifting it down off that rack makes it look like it weighs nothing!
    Keep calm and carry on...
