And folks, am I glad you weren’t there to see it. No, I didn’t take a fall. I’m sorry. I know a really good fall is always a fun thing to write read about. Plus, if I had a good “fall off my bike” story, I could have distracted you from the fact that I have the biking skills of a sporty snail. You know how that one pop star is named “Sporty Spice“… from now on you can just call me “Sporty Snail”… just not to my face.
I went on a 12 mile-ish ride with my friend Julie. You know, Crazy Julie… 2 arms, 2 legs… Yes! THAT Julie! She’s so cute. We went on a beautiful route along the Washington Coast. Rolling hills, a view of the Pacific, and a FANTASTIC view of Julie’s butt (which, by the way, looks very small - especially when she is a mile ahead…)
Julie is FAST. Her level of bike skillz earns her a “skill” with a “Z”. Let’s just say… for every HALF a rotation of my wheels she gets three rotations worth of distance. From here on out, I will address her as “Supastar”.
I mean, how much faster can one person go than another when going downhill? Really. I mean, gravity is gravity and… how the heck does that woman go so fast??? How??? **on knees, arms shaking - reaching to the heavens**
Oh well. I guess there can be ONE thing in life I am not the best at.

Congrats on getting on your bikey bikerson! Wait, it has a name. Lollipop? It’s not the speed girlfriend, it’s the journey! I feel the same way when cycling with Bert, Mr. I Can Go So Much Faster Than You!
You should bike with ME. Me and my 16 yr old mountain bike. Biking is the one piece that is totally keeping me from trying a triathlon.
Any more thoughts on the Portland Marathon???? I could tell everyone how small YOUR butt is from mile(s) behind you…..
You are SOOO exaggerating! I might be a bit out in front SOME of the time, but that’s the only way I can create the illusion of having a smaller butt than yours.
And here I was under the impression that you were the best at everything you put your hand to! Another illusion shattered . . . ah well.
12 mile bike ride? Wow! I was on the elliptical for a mile yesterday and about fell over when I got off of it (to head to the treadmill) b/c my legs were so wonky.
