A Fine Dressed Man


Have you ever been out on a ride around Boulder County and looked at people and the way they dress for a bike ride? So UN-PRO I think to myself. I'm not practically proud of it, but I tend to judge how fast they are by the way the dress. These people who are so BADLEY dressed are, of course, the same people who show up and the weekend race scene and kick your ass. I know better, but sometimes I let that fact that I have a cool new BSV kit get into my head. I think that I'm better than I really am.

I never should have made fun of the way my good friend Adam dressed a couple of weeks ago. So UN-PRO he is. But, the fact is he kicked my ass yesterday on our ride. And it hurt. It hurt my legs. It hurt my lungs. And it hurt my ego. But, it was a nicely timed gift. A reminder that in order for me to meet my goals this year, I'm going to have to work harder than I ever had before.

Thanks Adam. Thanks for the mouthful of humble pie. It's just what I needed!
