ThNR Report
Steven, Shaun, Pole Vaulter, Gavin, James, Curt, Steve and I arrived for our weekly ride. Gavin shaved for the first time in 8 years, Shaun was 12 days into a 3 day contest – rules are hard, and most of us had a dusting of hair. Reminder: no beards – moustaches only. We cycled to the usual haunts, Curt had a flat tire at the furthest point away from his house but close enough to James’s house to attempt some repairs. Running a bike shop does not necessarily mean you can fix flat tires – it means you hire people to fix flat tires. We also saw James’s ingenuity, creativity and cheap nature with his Cheerios box bike fender-extender and DIY truck cab pulley system. And speaking of cheap – we saw that that David sold James a bike with a BAC tester saddle – classy move. We eventually made it to the clubhouse where we were joined by David, Thomas, and Chaz. Minutes included: shooting rifles with grandpa on a riding mower, homemade wine and corkage fees at McDonalds?, BYOB at bars?, Pitcher and Lyle hurdelling the X mega-log, In Deanna Jones, the piano-guitar, pacifists hate the Jets logo, ‘Mo Myron shaved (but not his face), the sweet new FGBC wool jersey, why girls have trouble getting it up (front tires), “I’m alive – I guess”, Blondie’s 9 lb. burger, Phineas and Ferb, race at the Wiebe barn(?), David dropped the ball on the Grand Prix vs I need a better attitude, and the Movember cycling kit. Good times. JS

For the record, James was duly informed that his seat was indeed a tester from BAC. He shrugged it off. Not my fault.
ReplyDeleteDon't let the facts get in the way of a good story. JS
ReplyDeleteThey recommend a U-Lock, it is a heavy duty lock that is nearly impossible to break through. It can't guarantee your bike won't be stolen but it will discourage thieves from trying.
