Say Cheese!

Hey all,

Well that was a first. I went for a short ride today. Did some IM paced riding, etc. Nothing too hard, it was really a nice day. Not too hot, bit of wind, but not too much. As I was riding in on Glenmore trail, still outside of the city I had to stop at a light on 84th st. I think? Anyways as we start out again, this half ton pulls up beside me. Someone rolls down the window, I look over to see a young teenager girl with a big bright smile on her face as she pulls out the camera to take a picture of me!!! At first I was confused, what do I do? I could get mad, but then again what would that help and they didn't say a word to me, plus getting upset never really helps. Not like I'd be able to do anything about it anyways. So I do what any ego driven male would do, I get down on the aero bars and pose, strut my stuff!!! Head down, hands out, serious look on my face. So the truck speeds away and I'm left wondering who's myspace or facebook I'll appear on. What would the caption say?? Maybe somthing like, "Look at this dork in the lycra". FWIW I didn't have a race top on, only cycling shorts which were skin tight, but even so to the general public us cyclists don't look normal. My ride went well, with a 16min trans. run after. Felt solid, the weather was awesome too, can't beat it. Cheers,
