As I continued my ride I was being passed by a lot of bike riders going in the other direction and all I could think to myself was the scene in Planes Trains and Automobiles that is below. I had an enjoyable ride and rode at a very good pace but I feel like a complete idiot. I don't know what is wrong with me but I am not normal. The only thing that was normal today was my blood sugars. Time to enjoy the Broncos game and see how the game affects my blood sugar.
After this weekend I have decided to never plan anything. Yesterday I planned on sleeping in, today I decided to go for a calm bike ride, neither happened. I'm a very competitive person, so much so that when I see a person on any kind of bike ahead of me I have to pass them. I can't get on my bike and ride at a leisurely pace. Today I decided to go for a twenty mile loop near the ocean to practice riding against the wind. About seven miles in I see a group of three to four riders in front of me. I decide to pick it up a bit and see if I can catch them. I eventually pass them and give them a hello as I do, as get down near the ocean I start passing a few more riders. I think to myself it must be some kind of fundraiser, each person that I have passed hasn't had a number though. I continue down the road that abuts the ocean for a couple miles and pass a couple more riders, finally I said to myself your riding really well why not just push till the end of the road and then cruise the rest of the ride. I didn't want to get caught by anyone I passed so I tucked and was cruising at a good clip when I started to see a group of people about a quarter of a mile ahead. At this point I see clocks and cops, I quickly tuck again and don't want to be seen by anyone. As I approach the crowd people are cheering and cameras are flashing. As I blew by I hear some laughter and decide to just keep going. My usual route was the route of a sprint triathlon this morning. All of the riders had their numbers on their stomachs which explains why I didn't see them. As I continued my ride I was being passed by a lot of bike riders going in the other direction and all I could think to myself was the scene in Planes Trains and Automobiles that is below.
