Better than Christmas?

Biking gives you a lot of time to think, which can lead to a lot of time to stew, or grouse, or whine, or on a glorious day like Sunday can lead to a lot of time to imagine and laugh.

I present the result of a collaborative effort from Saturday's ride

10 Things of Monocacy (to the tune of 12 days of Christmas)

On a sunny summer Saturday, we went riding together, with

10 ounces of milk
9 llamas looking
8 scoops of Skratch

7-ty-plus Z'ers riding

6teen hundred calories
5 covered bridges
4 15 crossings
3 descents on Blacks Mill
2 cue sheets
and a 1 hour drive to start


I love being at a point in my training where an 80 miler on a nice day can be so achievable that it leaves energy for creativity like this.
