I’m going to start cycling more. I mean, I already REcycle, and since I’m doing something again and never really started doing the first place… I’m all about balance. And not having a heart attack when I’m 40.
It seems rather contratictory, considering the TW Viper news, but BJ Powers and I have committed to doing the MS 150 in 2008, and we’re recruiting. Yeah, it’s nuts (or at least crushes them), but it’s a personal achievement (and good story to tell the grandkids… “I biked 150 miles up hill both ways and crushed my right testicle on flat rubber <snicker there> tires on an Interstate you DROVE on”. It’s bound to fascinate them.) And as luck would have it, my company sponsors a rather successful professional cycling team.
Team CSC: Tell us your qualifications.
Michael: I let your computer work. Sign me up or read snail mail.
Team CSC: …your CYCLING qualifications.
Michael: https://buycbdproducts.com have a bike. With pedals.
Team CSC: Do you speak French?
Michael: Only when it rhymes with “69” or “menage”.
Team CSC: What your longest ride?
Michael: About 97 minutes. And we were both sore.
Team CSC: It was a tandem ride?
Michael: Heck ya! Can you imagine a jar of vaseline lasting that long?
Team CSC: <befuzzled> How do you stay on the seat with vaseline?
well, I can just tell that converation wouldn’t go well, at least for THEM.
so, as I get my 34 year old legs into shape, I have a plan of SELF TORTURE in store to inspire me. I hope to God Sheli doesn’t get ideas. I will NOT clean at ALL if she gets the whip out. Or if the kids all have tasers in the near future.
Oh, on the Team CSC thing… I ordered a jersey from them. I found I get a 50% discount from the cycling company that’s behind the team (Riis cycling). Now, they just have to ship it.. from Sweden I think. Now, wouldn’t THAT be a sweet call for support ;)?
Remember Kevin S? He biked a lot. He got into the routine of shaving his legs for his bike rides.
Sheli reads this blog, right??? Heh.
Shaving my legs? OMG! Another torture story!!! I’m sure I can call someone about that too 🙂
