While on a regular sort of ride on my familiar beach road I noticed a dramatic change but couldn't put my finger on it. While the Gruppo peddled their way down Nepean Hwy it just felt strange...a feeling I hadn't felt for some time or at least not here. As we started again on the green I noticed something had changed and it wasn't the weather. It wasn't the variety of hardware of the others. it wasn't even the etiquette or style of the gruppo.
It simply was...I WAS SHIT!!! I got spat out so many times I felt like a berry flavoured Hubba Bubba. And as if teasing me they kept getting caught at red lights so I could catch them and get spat out again. If you thought hills were my nemisis wait to see me tackle peddling these days.
I only hope more of you have succummed to the virus commonly referred to as "shit rider" so we can build together.
Infact, you need to go back many years to find more shitness in my riding. Even more shitful than when I was 10kg heavier. I may be given an honorary scholarship in shitology- cyclismology. If I was a pro tour team they'd call me Liqui-shit or Shit-Test-Team. I may have to downgrade my groupset to Shitmano. If I was a swingers club everyone would shit in the bowl as they entered (actually, that was a bit Spanglish. Urgh) Need to shed myself of all this shit. Can't wait to get hammered on the 1 in shit up to Sass.
Kinglake Degani is on the 12th, and your training days between now and then are littered with rain, suffering and obviously...shite. Does Garmin do a shitemeter?
Fear not, I keep checking my bike and asking it why it feels heavier as sacre bleu..it could not be my little Camembert belly, non! and Chain Reaction still isn't selling the CancerellaCranks with rechargeable batteries yet...bastards. Check out that post bicyclingblog... for some tips!!!!
Rain just means the trails on the MTB recently reparied by me because bike store mechanics are SHIT. I told them it was the chain...but no...I take it out and bang chain breaks. I ring and yes they'll change it on the spot. I take it to Chaddie, "oh, sorry. I didn't know you meant now. Our mechanics not here and I ride BMXs" BTW the 2 of them they couldn't fix a link so I said give me a chain link and I'll do it myself. Get home, 180seconds later it's fixed. Goldcross Cycles is SHIT!
You need to start commuting to work again with the real shit riders, ie: those lazy students who wheel suck my mountain bike. One of the bastards touched my back wheel yesterday and nearly brought me down.
Actually enjoyed this constant shit melbourne winter as it has kept most of the shit riders off the track to work.
Sporaticly, and this week with blood sucking Shit riders in tow. I actually got quite a few shit days in on MTB. Always fun. I describe it at work as a 30 min adventure holiday.
