    Dear BB,

    How can you be this old and not know right from wrong? You disappoint me, and you disappoint him. At least my suspicions about you are clearly confirmed. I'll no longer regret the distance I've kept from you. You are a trouble maker.

    Dear inner cyclist--

    One day, you will have a lovely, shiny new carbon or steel bike that actually fits. Promise. However, for right now, we have other things to focus on--like those "job" and "grad school" things. You can have one as a graduation present once you finish grad school (if we've got money; if not, we'll make it a delayed graduation present), 'kay? (And maybe, just maybe, we'll go for a Project One Madone, if we've got money and we can't find anything we like...)

    The more practical side.

    PS: You can't have any more jerseys. Shorts maybe, since we're down to three pairs. Jerseys, no. (Unless that one you've had your eye on for a year goes on sale...)

    Dear Self,

    Stop making excuses and get back out there already! You know you'll feel better once you do.

    Sincerely,

    Where's My Motivation?

    P.S. You don't want DH to dime you out to your BF again do yah? She's a tough coach.

    Dear rear tire/tube--
    What on earth was your problem? Hopefully you haven't done what I'm thinking you've done...

    Dear Silver Lining,

    I know you're going to make yourself known when all this upper body pain goes away...Good uni marks perhaps . Until then i'll just keep mozying..

    It's back to cycling on the trainer for now as my ride outside brought back the yucky pains . The accupuncture didn't help either ...

    Dear whoever outbid me at literally the last second on ebay today:

    It's my birthday, dammit, and I wanted that bike. You're a meanie.

    Signed,
    Apparently ready to fork over the money...hide the bikes!

    Dearest right knee--
    Would you either tell me what the problem is so that I can fix it, or stop hurting.

    Dear various body parts--
    WTF?

    Dear Left Leg,

    Okay time for a heart to heart. You can handle this - knee just calm down so the calf muscles can work and not pull on the tendon. All together now!

    Dear car--
    Stop leaking coolant. While I can technically live without AC, I'd prefer not to, given how hot it is. Also, we'd prefer to not have the additional expense of taking you to the dealership as well as the inconvenience of not having a car. (You're also interfering with my riding, and that makes Owlie very unhappy.)
