Andyr249 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 And I will be even more proud the day I can say "I quit!" Until then, cutting down is a step in the right direction but not the ultimate destination. Just wanted you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed. Going along bottom end of Mooi street this am and some blonde doris was hooting at me for what I have no idea. I mean I was as far on the LHS as I could be withoug hitting pedestrians, the traffic light I had slipped earlier, she would not have been able to see, so like WTF?? I sure didn't run over her dog, or the cat. When I threw up my hands in a guesture of "like WHAT?" her passenger opened the window and said junk I couldn't hear at all. So I chased after her so I could get her phone number and invite her to chat over this with a quiet gallon of wine. Like really get to grips with who owns how much of the road, and find out if she might make as interesting an IDT as she looked like she might. Slave, why are you fighting with the ladies? Ladies are meant to be loved, not fought with!
MDW Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Don't worry I'll pick you brain when you get back. We (Trubie & I) were also out this morning and the wind made things a little tougher. Always nervous this is a really tough race I will go out and enjoy there are many more to follow. When I am back we can have a chat will keep guys posted of any results I just hope not to puncture on the bike leg then it's up to me You excited / nervous / confident ?
Slave Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Slave, why are you fighting with the ladies? Ladies are meant to be loved, not fought with! Er, Andy, go back and read what I wrote again. Said, I wanted to get her phone number so we could chat about this over a quiet gallon of wine. Find out if she may be an interesting IDT model or maybe stoker for a Tandem. (Ok the stoker bit I just added but that's just like because I forgot this morning.) Who want's to fight with the ladies. That's like unarmed combat dude. Not cool.
Slave Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Good hunting Mark. Enjoy. Just one thing: You mentioned hoping not to "puncture on the bike leg." I thought bikes had wheels. Please don't confuse me. I am an old fart. Helmet, lycra, I see the door. Have a good race dude. Be safe out there.

You might've then got her number.
Slave Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Well, I almost had her registration number imprinted on my nether region. And throwing up one's hands is a defensive gesture AFAIK. Maybe it was the very loud "WHAT" that did it for her. So next time I'll get the registration number, you get your contacts to look it up for me and we give her a call right? Or not.

Andyr249 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 The race is an Ironman 70.3 that's why the bike leg ;-) That has the potential to confuse him even more!
Slave Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Anything and everything have the ptoential to confuse me. Specially when you tell me bikes have legs. (Seriously though MDW, respect dude. Anyone who can do IM is someone to be respected.) Enjoy and do well.
Slave Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 So I have a business meeting tomorrow morning and will not be able to make the 2 X SBR ride. But then again, I guess it's time to put as much energy into my business as my cycling. There will be other times. Enjoy the ride tomorrow and please be safe.

You got a serious priority issue dude but you know best
Slave Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah, it sucks that we need money to cycle and live. If it weren't for that my priorities would be cycle, cycle, cycle. Oh and I would cycle a bit.
