I've been sick the past few days, trying to fight through this lung infection. I attempted to ride Tuesday - epic failure. I rode Wednesday, about 80 km, uber slow, but I did it, totally slagged by the end of it. Thursday off. Friday an attempt at a long ride with Curvy Butt. Within the first 20 km I had to get off the bike twice and sit on the shoulder of the road ready to give up - couldn't breath, couldn't get the legs moving, head spins. Blah.
Curvy Butt, being the good friend he is and with my safety and health at the forefront, poked and prodded me until I got up off the side of the road and got my ass back on the bike and stopped being a sissy. I hung off the back the entire ride unable to take a pull at the lead and by the end of it, we managed to squeeze a slow 100km+ ride.
Don't know what I am going to do about the end of the month yet, can barely finish a 100 km road ride without feeling trashed . . . let alone 160 km on a single speed.
I had the camera on me the entire time but didn't feel like pulling out until just after Curvy Butt and I parted ways towards the end of the ride. Saw the above image spray painted on the pavement and was rather fitting of how I was feeling on the ride. . . . death.
Speaking of death . . .
Have you ordered your Team Dicky Death March t-shirt yet?

I feel like I'm analyzing a story in one of my lit classes:
"Yes, but what do these things symbolize?"
I'm hoping I can make the 'hican.
