Where With a Twist

Somehow I don't think this one is going be a mystery for long.

I got Jill out for a 30+km ride before the rain hit. It sure would be nice not to have to wear so many damn clothes. The worst part is coming down the hills in PA and freezing.

Done That

From the November issue of Bicycling magazine, these are the Cycling Rites of Passage I have completed.

#6 Bonking so bad you don’t think you’ll be able to make it home

#9 When you hang out at the bike shop and no one expects you to buy anything

#10 When your bike computer registers triple digits for one ride

#15 You try bibs and realize you can never go back to shorts

#20 You get stuck in your pedals and topple over at a stoplight

#26 Wearing out your first set of tires

#27 You ride through a pothole, and it’s no big deal

#29 You stop midride to give your only spare tube to a stranded cyclist

#31 Fixing a busted chain

#34 The first time you crumple your race number

#42 Rolling through a stop sign—and knowing it was the right thing to do

#46 Letting go of your kid’s seat and not having to grab it again

#47 Getting a bike stolen and realizing how deeply it hits you

#48 Cleaning the cassette with your old toothbrush

#53 Telling someone which bike to buy

#56 Figuring out how to layer without overdressing

#58 Your first ride with a jersey instead of a T-shirt

#59 Riding on a day so cold the water in your bottle freezes

#63 Getting so deep into the sport you think your helmet looks good

#64 Following a favorite pro racer—besides Lance Armstrong

#65 Finding out your favorite pro racer was doping

#66 Wrapping your bar tape so the handlebar plug stays in and no bare bar shows at the tricky bend at the brake hood

#72 Crashing and immediately asking, "How’s my bike?"

#84 Riding someplace you’ve always driven

#85 Outsprinting a crazed dog

#87 Waving at a cyclist coming the other way and being ignored

#98 Looking inside the bottle you’ve been using all season, seeing mold

#106 Feeling superstrong, then turning around for the ride back and realizing you had a tailwind.
