[QUOTE=channlluv;587335And what someone else said about rodeo riders having nothing on cyclists. Amen! 8 seconds. Feh.[/QUOTE]
A few weeks ago I saw something on the news about some major league baseball player having a sprained ankle, or maybe wrist, I don't know. But it was definitely a sprain. And it was huge news to the sports guy on the tv news: Big Important Baseball Dude Leaves Game Due to Sprained Ankle/Wrist.
And all I could think was, what a pu$$y. He wouldn't last 5 minutes in a bike race.

Ironically we call our puppy Jensie! I keep telling my husband the puppy is too wimpy, I am going to get him a collar that is embroidered with TTFU so Jens Voigt doesn't take his name back.

I think it was Pujols on the Cards. next thing you know - 15 day disabled list. Cyclists - patch up at 40kph and keep on truckin'.
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)
