I have this thing about over using the word 'Man' in conversation. 'ah man' or 'Look man, what's the deal'. But lately what really gets under my skin is people who say 'like' every other word or 'Then I said' every other sentence. English ... people ... learn to use it. Not that I was an English major man, like cut me a break. Then I said 'Man, it it ever going to warm up? Like, this weather is putting the kybosch on my Spring training'.
Really, all joking aside, if you really want to get bummed out about the weather in Pennsylvania in April ... go to Florida in March. It was 80, I was on the beach drinking BL Limes. It was awesome.
Fast forward not 4 weeks. It has rained every other day and not gotten out of the 50's! I rode Thursday after work. Again, in the 50's. I thought 'Huh, this ain't bad'. So I headed out with no arm warmers. About 10 miles out and I'm cruising along ... no worries. When you guessed it, it temperature dropped about 5 degrees and the wind picked. Up. Rain was headed my way.
So I high tailed it back to the barn fighting a really weird cold head wind. All the while I'm dressed for July mid-day riding. Not good. If I hadn't had my head firmly implanted in my keister and would have had my cell phone with me, I would have bailed on this one.
So long story short; I have 60 miles on the year and a Metric Century coming up in 3 weeks. It needs to be Spring real soon or my early cycling season is looking dismal man. Like, you know, like, really not good man.
Enough rant!
Peace out!
