Kinnie, I love your sense of humor. James and I are the old codgers in our riding group. We ride mostly with Tim and Susan's breakfast crew, that is, when we both are not ailing. Your definition of (ns) probably fits most of my rides now, and sometimes I even have a No Sweat ride. On rare occasions I might break out for a sandbagging sprint toward the end of our Tuesday or Thursday evening ride when everyone else allows the old man to show off for 30 seconds. The anticipation of a bottle of Fat Tire at the end of the ride probably influences the brief increase in speed. Best of luck on your next tri event.

Hi Chris, That was a little tongue and cheek. (You have to maintain a bit of a sense of humor with the Cows in addition to your educational mind set - that is also greatly appreciated.) Just trying to throw in some jocularity. My hobby is triathlon, yes. And no, there are more roadies with the Cows; possibly more triathletes with the Rocky Mount cyclists (Rocky Mount is not as organized as Wilson). For example, a group of 12 or so left DD in Wilson yesterday morn; of that group there were two tri bikes. (And I don't usually ride on Saturday mornings. I am a Cows adoptee and usually ride during the day from Red Oak. However, they are a great group of quality individuals as well as quality cyclists. However, watch out for Doc who is a sandbagger. [More jocularity Chris]) The "ns" stands for "nauseatingly slow". This was a term my trainer used to try and get an obsessively compulsive trainee triathlete (me) to perform a true recovery ride (the ones you are referring to). kp From: Chris Smith <[email protected]> To: CyclistsOfWilson-COWs <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 2, 2012 9:01 AM Subject: [COWs] Re: Wednesday Night Ride Bob, thanks a LOT for the garmin files! I really appreciate these. Obviously I could look at a map and plot out a course, but my problem is that I only know a couple of roads in Wilson: 1. Hwy 264, 2. Downing Street, 3. Glendale Drive, 4. Tarboro St. So I have no way to know where the traffic, dogs, poor road conditions are. Kinnie, please forgive me if I sound stupid when I ask what is an "ns ride?" I am not familiar with that? Random thought, you are a triathlete, right? Do you guys have a larger number of tri's as opposed to roadies? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
