Curiosity

I was a source of great curiosity at Starbucks this morning. Two separate individuals asked me a few questions about riding. One had apparently quite recently purchased a two wheel something new, perhaps over the long weekend.

Reportedly she's not crazy enough to ride "in this." By that she meant close to 40 degrees with < 7 mph wind. In the middle of February - a very rare day indeed. The guy before her certainly knew how beautiful February has been.

As I left with grande-non-fat-chai in hand and chocolate-covered-graham in pocket she begged me to tell her I don't ride whilst drinking. I failed to ask her if she drinks her's while she operates a 4,000lb machine at speeds two to three times my own.

I've got to get more practice at these impromptu conversations.

  1. 40 degrees -- almost too warm for biking! Where'd I put those shorts... ;-)

  2. ...she's not crazy enough to ride "in this."...

    Maybe she was referring to your riding attire, not the weather?????

  3. There are times when you have to be crazy to ride. Can't actually think of any right now, but I'm sure there are some.
