Stickybeak

What's the most torturous thing one could possibly do to a cyclist? Cleaning out road rash comes to your mind? Riding up a 15% gradient climb? Bonking, hitting the wall 100km from home? Getting dropped from the bunch? Sure, that's all pretty hard to take. But I tell you what's the worst! Getting a brand new bike is the most torturous thing of them all. How so?


Well, Dad sent some stickybeak photos of my new bike that is approximately 17,000 km from here and it'll be another week before I will be able to put it together and swing my leg over it. I'd rather have a wire brush taken to my sores...

Last night I dreamt I rode a Canyon!

...s-l-o-w-l-y she inches forward, reaching, almost grasping...it's there, it awaits her & she knows it...she can feel it, she's even becoming familiar with it in her dreams but she...can't...quite...touch...it...yet...

...would this be considered 'teasing' ???...

...perhaps she simply means her poetic license has no expiration date...
