A case in point: Yesterday's "Crazy Bastard West" ride wasn't the best one ever by any means! The seasonal roads were an impassable mess of ice ruts, frozen snow, thinly iced over puddles and that meant lots of walking, pushing, falling and wet feet. BB's crank arm fell off at the farthest-possible-point-from-the-cars and we had to push him back (on gravel and pavement) until a rescue car arrived and it was cold and windy.
In other words - we had a blast!
'Tis true............11 "grown-ups" endured all that crap when they could've been doing a whole buncha other stuff and all agreed - once we got back to the coffee shop - that their days were made and another Great Ride was in the books.
Go figure.
Take my bike for a walk in the uneven, well-nigh-unwalkable frozen snow? You bet.
Push buddy B for 3-4 miles 'cuz his bike broke? Sign me up.
Thaw my fingers out around a cuppa hot chocolate while doin' the post-ride wind down w/ good buddies? HELL yes!
We'll see you out there next Sunday, huh? Same time, same place. It'll be a hoot. Trust me.
Don't forget the first riode of 2009! Here @ the shop at 1:00pm on 1-1.
