Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Catrin: +1. I think Cleveland usually gets more snow than Indy anyway, but I'm getting really sick of it. I haven't taken the bike out because if it's not snowing, it's wet and icky or far too cold for me to be comfortable.

Wow I love this thread all of a sudden.

Dear, dear male friend: please don't yell at your girlfriend as she tries to learn to manage a road bike, with clipless pedals, in traffic for the first time. That's not helping. If you are nice, she might end up liking this sport. If not, you're going to end up riding on your own, or with a good ol sausagefest. I assume that's not why you encouraged her to ride in the first place, right? Think it through, put on your patience hat.

I'll give you some crap when we aren't all together, so as not to make you look like the idigit you are bein in front of her. But I'm sure she can tell, so, yknow.

Oh dear. Part of the reason I like riding on my own is because DBF isn't around! His mom told me when I first started riding, "You know, most cycling guys want you to be successful. The problem is, they want you to be successful right now!"

Dear body--
Stop. I can't concentrate. I can't actually get off the couch or out of the chair for any more than about 30 seconds. I know it's only one or two days a month, but I would like to get on with my life.

Funny!

Hope you feel better soon, Owlie.
