Last night Zak, Issac, and I were out riding. We went up to a Fresno Cycling Meeting I believe it was. Then after the meeting booked it home.
Lets start with the initial ride, since we had time to kill we decided to do a lap around Woodward Park. Nice little loop unfortunately I didn’t wear my shades. So here we are riding around and wouldn’t you know it the day I forget the shades..BAM.. huge bug in the eye. I went from Don to Pirate Don..ARRR, I was still pedaling but my left eye was closed and burning like the fires of hades. I tried everything to get that bugger out..bug..bugger..get it…never mind, but eventually I just had to keep riding until it worked its way out. Zak on Issac on the other hand have bad eyesight so they wear glasses….the one time bad eyesight comes in handy as Issac would say. Other than that it was nice.
We headed towards the meeting, with a quick stop at Rubber Soul. Where we drooled over some frames
. After the meeting we rode hard all the way home and at this point in time Issac and I realized that Zak rides a very large gear compared to us because he left us in the dust…..his little blinking light trailed off in the distance. I cut over at cedar to go home and said my goodbyes to Issac…I would have said bye to Zak but for some odd reason I don’t think he could hear me
.
Oh well though I love riding home…why you ask? Well because when you are riding home you don’t have to reserve energy because you are just going home thats it. So use every last ounce of energy you got…so how does one do that….car racing anyone. Indeed their is no way I can beat the cars when they are driving, but I can race them across intersections. Which most of the time I can win unless they are a lead footed teenager. At one point a guy at a bus stop said as I passed “damn maybe I should ride a bike”…with the way the bus system works he probably get to where he is going faster by bike. So I rode my ass off the whole way home and got home pouring down sweat. My roommate was like were you riding this whole time….no just part of the time. So why are you sweating so much….car racing
.
Keep on riding everyone.

Yeah I was in a 25mph mood last night on the way home. I needed to push it.
