Three headlines you would never, ever expect to see:
1. Babe Ruth strikes out in pickup softball game! 2. Albert Einstein screws up checkbook when he forgets how to do simple subtraction! 3. Tim Lucas bonks on 40 mile ride! I'm glad you're okay, but - damn! ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lucas Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2012 8:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [COWs] July 4th Ride Review 1. Welcome Francisco, who just moved here from Puerto Rico. Very nice friendly guy. I hope you'll join us often. We have lingo for how fast our group rides are. The breakfast crew usually cruises 17 to 18 mph. The NASCAR guys 23 to 25 mph, and lots of termanology for everything in between. Welcome to Wilson! 2. Hydration 101: Never, never underestimate Mother Nature. Invincible me goes off yesterday with one water bottle. Feeling great, never even taking a sip on the way over. Losing my legs halfway home, down most of my water bottle but it was too late. Stopped briefly at the right turn on Pridgen road. The world was spinning round and round. Started pedaling, halfway down Pridgen, my body completely shut down. World spinning so fast now I couldn't hold on. I was going down. Laid out on Gary's front yard. Gary brings me cold water, Dave Williams and Francisco ride to Capt'n Bruce's house for the sag truck. Pete stands guard making sure I don't try anything stupid like remount my bike. Bruce hauls me to DD's. No gloves or helmet but they magically reappear at my house hours later. Thanks Bruce! Thanks to all who made sure I got home. I dropped over 6 lbs of fluid during the ride. 750 miles one weekend and the next I can't even survive a little no-drop ride. No pun intended. Some of my rando friends set a beeper on their computers to remind them to drink. Sounds like a good idea for hot summer rides.
