Make Things Fun Fun Fun
This Side Up
Now you’re wondering… Cycling? You’ve got me. This has nothing to do with Cycling. But it’s interesting and entertaining. The Video below not Tom. And, of course, the concept could be stretched to apply to Cycling. Just think… what if someone could come up with a way to make riding 100 miles fun? Or say attending that monthly bike club meeting. How about getting up at 6:00am to ride. Better yet cleaning your bike that you just cleaned after a rain ride! I could go on and on but why not add your own list in the Comment section below. Be safe on the road, see you soon.

Good comments John… You got it.
Ride it like you….. No ride more…. No keep on…..
Anyway CU
Listening for the tickedy tick of a broken spoke gouging into your carbon fiber frame.
Hearing the tick, tick, tick of the spoke magnet of the bike in front of you.
Assuming your gears are all meshing then realizing the noise you thought was the gal in front of you not having shifted quit enough is your chain rubbing on your front derailler (I know, but I am not french speaking).
Thinking it is too early for “The Sprint” then hearing the whine and windup of someone who does not know it is still a quarter mile to the sprint point.
Knowing it is too long until the next rest stop but not caring and finishing all your water – only to find out it is already gone.
Saving your water because it is still 2 hrs to the next water stop – then turning the corner and see the stop right in front of you.
Thinking Colorado Cyclist can ever have a “sale”.
Humming/hearing a tune in your head, keeping time with pedal cadence, breeze in your face, good thoughts buzzing through your head – then the stupid *$^&%#( cyclist in front of you swerves in and out of the pace line, coasts until he is 2 bike lengths back, stands and “sprints” to back of the bike in front of him, then hits the brakes as he mashes his front tire into the rear derailler (told you – not french speaking) of the bike he chased down only to find out the paceline is slowing for a stop sign.
Hearing the pssst, pssst psst of air escaping from the rear (of course) tire and as you slow to a stop, people ask if you “Have a flat?” – to which you answer, “No thanks I already have one.” then to realize, as the group rides away – your CO2 is the one you used LAST time this happened.
100 miles – if it’s Horse Farm – that IS fun.
Six Gap – a different type of fun for only sick people.
Riding/climbing the 3 Summit Century in Mt Shasta – another level of sick people. I hope to be one of them one day soon.
But, the real pain in cycling? Passing on the Bloomingdale’s sale for a Colorado Cyclist’s sale.
I thought pain WAS fun.
