So in my renewed bike mode, I rode to work today. I will tomorrow as well. The route I take is 31 miles round trip. Today I was on the way home when I realized I need another pair of bib shorts. I thought I'd stop at the Trek store where, since I think today is Tuesday (It's Wednesday) since I took Monday off, the Wednesday night ride was getting ready to go off. Now even completely fresh, I'm in no shape to do the Trek store ride. So after about 15 miles, I'm worthless. No way I could hang with those guys for even the ride down the trail. Forget it.
Yeah I could do The wussy Bike Master's ride, but that's not really on my way home from work is it? - I'm just kidding - The Bike master's ride is easily my favorite. It's just far, far away. And I couldn't currently handle either one.
I had to get home anyway. I had a commitment (watching the kids). Shim and Mod were willing to recommend good divorce lawyers so I could ride the ride - good guys, Shim and Mod. The craziest thing is ... I was actually tempted.
I barely made it home as it was so ...
Here's the deal - I'm a bit out of shape. I need to lose 25 pounds. I can lose up to 5 a week riding and drinking right. I might be able to do Wednesday in 2 or 3 weeks. Of course I'll get severely dropped, but I'll finish. I couldn't have done that today.
Log of the last couple weeks (Miles):
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, .5, 0, 25, 25, 27, 25, 32
This morning weigh in: 215.6! Man, I'm glad I didn't weigh myself last week.
Oh it's on like Tron (I hated Donky Kong).

I will also join you in a few weeks and also probably get dropped alot. But I too need to get back on it. I've taken up running again, so my progress will be slow, but at least I'll be able to eat more like I used to. I miss eating anything and everything without gaining any fat. Alas, age makes it more of a struggle. Oh well, such is life.
hey, did I tell you guys about the two pounds I lost last week?
