Best Ride Ever
Just got back from the best training ride of my life.
60 miles.
Perfect weather.
Everything Everything/The Weeknd on the iPod.
Worked on the s-pattern sprint.
Finally broke-in my new straps.
New Rando was skidding so smoothly.
Got the pot-hole bunny hops dialed.
Saw a Triumph Scrambler; dope.
Crossed paths with a roadie around mile 40 at the battery.
Chased down said roadie.
Doubled back at the west-end.
Paced beside said roadie and said, “Hey, how’s it going.”
He forced out a “hey,” then looked away.
Promptly dropped said roadie.
Perfect timing at Market/East Bay light; sprinted through.
Skitched a Ford Ranger from Market St. to Harris Teeter.
Passed the same roadie on Radcliffe.
Waved; got ignored; called him a douche.
He turned around.
Dropped him a second time on King St.
Rolled it home to a quiet apartment.
I couldn’t ask for a better ride.
