I got a trial subscription to Bicyling magazine (two free issues and a couple of premium booklets on training and maintenance), and in the most recent issue, they list the 50 best things about cycling. To my surprise, I just did one of them. Twice. In one day.
Item number 34, the slow motion fall resulting from being unable to get unclipped from your pedals in time, twice in about 20 minutes yesterday. My right knee looked like bargain-bin hamburger, my left better but still not what anyone would call good.
Oh, well, I always was too dumb to quit, so while I didn’t go as far as I would have liked, I still got about 10 miles in. Tomorrow’s another day, and perhaps it won’t rain.
