Wed smackdown?

So Syl suggested we move smackdown to Wed. And then didn't show.

No one else did either. Well the gorgeously gracious Giulia did, and Fuller...  and Goldberg dusted off his bike that he hasn't ridden since my December Hundo that he joined on.

I didn't change the flat tire on the bike after yesterday's hundo last night, and this morning? fuck that shit, didn't change it either. Still flat.

Rode the SSCX with the 980gram commuter tires and fenders and stuff. And I was tired and sore and ...  hung on valiantly and barely to Giulia's wheel on that bike wearing the backpack full of computers and clothes and stuff. We hit Prospect and I had to bow out and return home via the bike shop.

Was awesome to ride with Goldberg again, to recount the route a bit with everyone and just ride, riding is good, but man, if I'm gonna take the SSCX on the smackdown i need to change the tires, not do a hundo the day before and maybe even take the fenders off and definitely leave the backpack in the office. That was rough.

Legs are hosed.

Writing about it has at least tweaked my mood in a positive direction, that or it could be that i thought about stopping to get beer on the way home and didn't but have been grumpy until reflecting on today's ride.

I'm sure something will make me grumpier than I am no before I fall asleep. That's the nature of life, right?

I was in a weird headspace after the hundo, then got to work with a giant pile of what the fuck to deal with and still no resolution in sight and well...  here i am....


Fred hassling me about riding on the dirt....  my brain hassling me for everything i said last night, sigh...

But hey, i'm supposed to be able to deal with it all...  right? If you think so then well, I'll be nice and not say what I was gonna say just say, you're right, i wish i could do it all with a completely positive attitude. I'd probably be a Toupee Fiasco supporter if that was true...

y'all keep doing what is right, be strong, be compassionate, take care of people around you, because ultimately you don't matter, everyone else does.
