Observations and thoughts from Saturday.

1. I about caused 2 high school punks to biff it on their dept. store race bikes. Here is how it went........
Me: [just riding on the bike path]
Punks: "Hey, nice spandex. Huh, Huh, Huh,"
Me: [thinking to myself] "Yeah, it's not spandex, it lycra you un-educated piece of poop."
Punks: Ahhh, [insert skid mark sound here] look out Tommy.
Anywho, the one Punk rear-ended the other guy cause he stopped mid-trail to stare and mock me.

2. Today at the YMCA, I was in the middle of an interval. I was working somewhat hard, but not too hard. I had already been on the stairmaster for about 30 minutes when this jock hopped on the one next to me. This was your typical jock, who has to out-do everybody else. Well, he hopped on. Crank'd the intensity level all the way up, and proceeded. I could see him out of the corner of my eye watching my screen. So, I jumped it up, and so did he. Now the funny part. It was no more than 10 seconds later and his face turned red. This was the color red that those weightlifters faces get on that TV show The World's Strongest Man Competition when they are about to pop a nut. Anyway, he had enough. He hopped off.

3. Cotton kills! Why do people workout in cotton t-shirts. Or even ride the bike path in non-cycling clothing. Do they not know? They must just like to sweat.....a lot!

4. I ate 3 cups of yogurt today after everything was said and done.

5. What are those Eliptical (sp?) machines anyway? Is it running? Is it skipping? Why the hell can you do it forward and backwords? I know all the chicks like 'em. All I know, is that it's the most popular machine at the YMCA.

6. Why am I the only one that ever uses the Stairmaster? Atleast it seems that way.

7. [Thought] I wonder how much yogurt I could eat before I get sick?

8. [Thought] Should I be driving my car? Geeze, I have only driven it like 1/2 miles since October 19.

9. [Thought] How messy would that have been?
I thought that to myself after a creature of the woods ran close to my disc brake rotor.

10. [Thought] Yes, I am wearing a bike helmet. You can stop looking at it now!
I though that to myself as I enter'd the YMCA this morning.

11. [Thought] Why does everything revolve around money?

That's enough! I have now posted 4 times today. How eventful.
