Those of you who know me well understand that I crave healthy competition among friends and fellow fitness/racing enthusiasts. Competition motivates and drives us to be stronger, faster, etc. while benefitting both/all competitors. I also crave pie sometimes, but tonight I was served a healthy portion of HUMBLE PIE that did not particularly suit my palate. The server was Mr. Chris Roland whom I have placed on top of the podium tonight until such time that I can replace him (with myself). At approximately mile 18 of our 28 miles ride (not exactly sure as I was gasping for air and slobbering on myself), Chris placed his bike in reverse (or so it seemd from where I was sitting), reached back and attached his back wheel to my front wheel. Sort of like a mama lion would grab her exhausted cub in her mouth as if to say come along now. Or like a child playing with a train set might reverse the engine to grab a car, then steam ahead towing his trophy. I have to decide if I will log all 28 miles on my training log - maybe I will just subtract 10% from my average speed - or maybe I will say nothing and beat my chest when I look back a month from now. Chris, thanks for the great workout!
