character flaw

so, who takes on a retired recumbent rider who's been on top of the leader board for years and seems to ramp up the mileage every time anyone gets close...  this idiot typing...

I didn't check rankings yesterday but he spent the day at 888, lucky bastard i was stuck at 887. Over the weekend he erased the lead.

Pretty impossible task to stay ahead I think. Esp when he seems to be able to chunk out 56 mile days.

I shouldn't care and shouldn't attempt to hold the lead for the month, and there's nothing to win, and I'm sure if all the RI riders actually signed up to the National Bike Challenge we'd both be off the leader board https://nationalbikechallenge.org/state/ri but hey, at least this is a competition less futile than many I have engaged in.

Kind of mad at myself a bit though, should just relax and let him get a lead, lull him into thinking i've conceded the month and then blammo pull a couple hundos out of the bag. Already blocking the calendar.  Now if I could just read and grade papers while riding...  THAT would be clutch.

Anyrate, if I manage to keep this up I'm going to be really tired of riding alone with the voices in my head. These voices are like me, either uncomfortably quiet or uncontrollably talkative. Riding they seem to be the latter.

Time to pedal. Burning mileage time (not just with this also dealing with work emails in between sentences).

Just kind of wish it would crack 60F and stay above it to simplify clothing choices....
