Boys on Bikes

Strollin and Rollin On Sunday Pinkgurugal headed to the country with... and rode "behind"... Could this be.... Red Allez Guy and White English Boy? Yes, Red Allez Guy and I called truce Sunday and together we all rode. I snapped these snapshots of this cute couple as they were riding into the woods. For some reason I lost them during the ride...somewhere in the backwoods... for quite some time. hmmmm... I got a little bored so took this fuzzy and silly self portrait After the boys resurfaced, we took a halfway break at the country store. I snapped these photos of our bikes and thought... HOLY CRAP!...these three bikes are worth MORE than my car! I am guesstimating this is easily 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS in bikes....or it's likely more if you include all the upgrades. So that got me to thinking about how triathletes and cyclists drop big bucks for a nice ride. I recently read that cycling is the new golf. In other words, like golf clubs, cycling enhusiasts want the best. I had no clue when I started cycling... But consider this: amortize my investment into my pink guru and into number of days I have and will be on it, and the cost is nominal..if not negligible. Good, rationalizing it just made me feel better... We feel good after we cycle. Not bad for a day of truce. “The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They believe, rather, that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistakes and continually to make a new man of himself. “~Wang Yang-Ming
