I don’t wear bibs because I don’t like them, either comfort-wise or for practicality. I cover my rear by using shorts and shirts that actually fit me.

My clothes fit, for the most part – my issue is more one of “spandex age v. exposure to UVA,” which leads to UVB (you view my butt). I try to strategically pull my jersey over my shorts, but I really just need to get new ones.

If there is a serious accident, and one person is literally sprawled out on the trail with several people crowded around to offer aid:

1) you don’t get to blast through at speed, and
2) when people tell you you should slow the hell down, you don’t get to shout obscenities and tell people to get the F out of the trail!

Seriously, I don’t care who you are, and I certainly don’t care how important you think you are: when someone is seriously injured, their needs take precedence over yours. That was the most disgusting thing I think I have ever seen out there, and I have seen lots of boneheaded, idiotic things out there. This post can’t come close to expressing my rage at what I witnessed!

This is a pretty obvious case of off-season embrocation cream grundle over-application (OSECGOA for short)… all the classic manifestations are there: genital swelling with cerebral atrophy, leading to an increased sense of self-worth, and, of course, bonus eruptus. The only cure…transdental electromicide.

I only managed to pass two people Cabiking at Haines Point, but man those were some sweet passes. Also had a putter along for the ride.

“Heaved payment” means something different to me, messier.

I was singing with gusto this morning on the Custis around that time – not screaming though. If you heard bits and pieces of the H.M.S Pinafore – that was me.

These things are awesome. I had to switch over to my spring gloves just to keep things from getting too toasty. Now if they just made underwear I would be set.

Wierd. I had the exact same experience. Although it was a hair below freezing.

Ditto – must be witchcraft or some other form of wizardry.

Great ride in with the tailwind. How is it that five days off the bike has reduced my eliteness by over 50% – EXPONENTIAL ELITE DECAY – WTF?

Not sure about the wisdom of the guy who sorta passed me this morning, deciding instead to pull along side and chat, only to realize that someone was coming from the other direction. Wash rinse repeat going down the hill in Rosslyn combined with a dart across all four lanes of Lee Highway to beat the light – earns you a DarWIN.

Got stuck at work late last night since I work for Uncle Scrooge, props to the guy with the day-glo earmuffs and goofy socks on the Custis – you keep on doing what you’re doing.

W&OD was gloriously vacant this morning with the exception of the woman who likes to scream at me for not calling my passes when even though I do every day very loudly. I think she just needs some hot cocoa and a warm cat. She probably has cats. So maybe just the cocoa.

~3,000 miles done and done. Also, never replaced my worn out front chainring…ELITE

To the gentleman who passed me right by the Falls Church Firehouse on the W&OD this morning saying “Do you smell that?” No, I hadn’t until you mentioned it.

What in the name of god is that smell? Did someone throw some rotten durian out by that playground? Is that where Frank the Marmalade Cat keeps his not-so-fresh kills?

Awful combination of super warm hands this morning, cold feet, and some drunk guy in front of me zigzagging all over the place. Respect for being drunk at 6am, no respect for being drunk on a bike at 6am.

Hoping this evenings chapped-face extravaganza goes a bit better.

There’s nothing like 39 and drizzle/light showers for a good time.

For a good time call 1-800-LIT-DRIZ. Spoke broke last night, guessing metallurgical fatigue from weather and my eliteness.
