Odd Bike Ride

9/9/2012

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.  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.
