Top Ten...

Top 10 ways to tell when you really ARE too tired to go on that bike ride:

1. Your pre-set, go this way every week route has you heading left out of the house….which you realize 5 miles later after turning right, going over the freeway, and suddenly sitting up saying out loud “where am I going”?

2. You don’t remember how you go to the top of that hill

3. You leave home without your helmet and wonder why your head is scorching

4. You get home afterward and go up and ring the doorbell on your own house – start your dog barking – and then stand there wondering why doggie isn’t opening up the door.

5. You pump up your tires and promptly put the bike back on its hook in the rafters.

6. You finish a phone call as you are getting ready to go ride and put the phone in the frig when you take out your pre-chilled drink.

7. A big bug flies into your mouth, then out again, then in and then (thank gosh) out before you finish your yawn.

8. You tip over onto the car next to you at the red light for a quick nap.

9. You can’t count to 10 correctly

I have done 2, 6 with my keys and 7. I have tipped into the car next to me at a red light before, but not to nap That was one of my more embarrassing moments

I have to follow this list up with " you might be a swimmer if..." :

1. You sleep in your swim suit-frequently

2. After getting ready to go to practice you decide you have time for a quick stretch. While stretching your legs you fall alseep.

3. You get ready for work, get in your car, and find yourself at the pool instead

4. When you glance at the clock, minutes that pass are involuntarily turned into swim time you could have done "x" distance in.

5. You have a year round tan line..or multiple designs on your body from the different suits you wear

6. Instead of a "sunglass" tan you have the goggle tan-with straps

7. There is no need to buy hairspray since all the chlorine in your hair is sufficient to perfect your perfect "do" (and a unique color to boot!)

8. Someone asks when the last time you took a shower was...and you respond "I don't need to"

9. You only own many pairs of flip flops

10. Jamming a piece of styrofoam between your legs is not some kinky sexual activity

1-10 has applied at various times.

I still remember my first week after I switched the clipless on my road bike. I was riding to work around 5:45am. I stopped at a stop light and forgot that both of my feet were attached to the bike. Let's just say that I'm not sure which hurt worse, my pride or my right leg.
