How do you show your commitment?

Hello

[Li Mu Bai]

scary that most of your list applies to me.

jeez, I need to get back into kitesurfing...

I got an SMS last night, saying partner will not be riding today.

So when i woke this morning saw it was raining, that was it i was not getting UP. But had the partner said yes I would have gone out looking for a ride.

When I started working in Hatfield and sat in the traffic every morning I was surprised to see how my car chowed the juice, which is one of the main reasons I cycle to work.

I thought about buying a scooter to get to and from work to save petrol, but then thought how lazy i would become, because then I would have a reason to sleep a bit later...the scooter is faster.

 

Now I just remind myself that if I don't get up I'm going to be late for work, and say to myself that I'm not going to get fit sitting behind a steering wheel.

 

Cycling to work also gives me a good reason not to work late At the moment I am clocking close to a 1000km every month.....not too bad for being employed fulltime, husband, father, DIY fanatic......

 

Cycling also helps to keep me sane. I'm far more relaxed when I get home and don't take my work problems out on my family.

 

How do I get time to ride on weekends?......I just slap my wife on the butt at 5am and say: "Sex or cycling?" and she usually says: "Don't forget the sunblock".

I still have one PROBLEM? I do not have the wife. I am married to KOM a very sexy petit and demanding but loving bike.

that is a cr@p situation to be in. Had the same during an Afriman race. Had something that didn't agree with me.... Provided a nice green patch of grass on the Maropeng road.

Commitment... fun! I wonder about that some times. But that is when you go out, in cold/rain /wind really crap weather, and some others as well. Its those tough rides that you remember, and actually joke around the most to get through the miserable weather.

Never had to poop before a race even with carbo loading (touch wood) thought it was a myth people pooping before a race. (think I will send a mail to "Mythbusters")

[MTBjunky]

The golden rule: always 'push a pony' before heading off to a race!!!

[Guest Frail4Life]

I got no "Pony's " only bikes in my stable.

[Guest Frail4Life]

I am very committed, if i do not ride. I just do not go to WORK.
