Tour this....

Yesterday was the first day of the Tour de Georgia. I am trying to figure out where I can possibly go catch a leg of it but there isn't too much happening too close to home. I am thinking that watching it will inspire me to love riding my bike and to ride more than once before my first triathlon of the season which, by the way, is less than two weeks away. While I enjoy the crap out of watching cycling and I truly love the sport, I don't so much enjoy going riding. Here's some reasons why:

- Cycling clothes are bad
- Your crotch hurts for days after that fist ride
- Everyone around here that rides is pretty damn good and I always feel like a loser
- It takes a lot of damn time which leaves me stuck riding on the weekend which is
normally scrapped due to crappy weather or a twinge of a hangover
- The cycling community is a weird one that I don't necessarily want to become a
part of but I would love to be a better rider which leaves me on the outskirts of
things. This is, at times, fine by me but I am pretty sure that there has to be
one or two really cool people that ride that I could pal up with and that could
challenge me. The times I have gone out with new folks I don't know very well
they turn out to be bike geeks in sheeps clothing and tend to be too bike snobby
for my taste.

That being said, I do love to watch cycling. If you need a giggle visit Dave Zabriskie's website here and read the one question on the bike interviews.
