monday, recovery, the rules of wave, shoes

ahhh, nice....felt pooped when i got on the bike this morning.....my legs were saying no, but after 30min were feeling much better... just did the ride to work, worked, rode home.... day was stressful at times but good at others... also trying to stick to a diet of less calories so that was messing with me all day, but think i did a good job of making it happen...

rules of the wave:

will NOT wave to you if:
1. you don't have a helmet on
2. you don't have a shirt on
3. your riding on the sidewalk
4. your riding on the wrong side of the road
5. your a crackhead and it looks like your riding a stolen bike

may not wave to you if:
1. i don't see you, yes it happens, i'm kind of blind
2. you have on day-glo
3. i'm descending and don't think it's safe to take a hand off the bar
4. i'm hurting so much that i don't think i can muster up the energy to take my hand off the bar let alone wiggle it back and fourth

will do my damnedest to wave to you if:
1. i see you
2. you have a helmet on
3. you have a shirt on
4. your not riding on the sidewalk
5. your riding on the right side of the road
6. you have a "team" kit on
7. you don't have a "team" kit on
8. your smiling, frowning, gritting your teeth....and so on
9. your on a bicycle, of any type, and don't meet any of the "will NOT" rules

i may give you the finger if:
1. your a jerk who jumps on my wheel and doesn't say anything
2. you do something stupid
3. you run a red light
4. you ride in the middle of the lane for no reason whatsoever
5. i recognize you and don't care much for you
6. i recognize you and am in a smart ass kind of mood


shoes:
for quite some time i've wanted to blog on how i seem to see shoes on every ride i go on....now i don't think this is some strange anomaly, but it is kind of strange....... at some point in time i thought it would be funny to put a shoe count on the bottom of each post, but quite frankly that's just one more thing i would need to try to remember when i get off a ride...this can be quite difficult... i often wonder why there are always shoes on the side of the road...now in some cases i can understand: kids shoes, easy kid takes off shoe, throws it out window, hahahhaha; adult shoes, hmmmm quite the quandary, it's usually only one, but sometimes i have seen a complete pair however spread over some distance....is it a dare, or one of your buddies takes a shoe off your foot, out of your closet or something and thinks it's funny to toss it out the window...i mean come on.... well i guess if i'm ever hard up for a shoe i can always find one on the side of the road....hahahha
