A bird was feeding on the road. As I approached it flew off, then changed direction and flew straight under my front wheel and I squashed it. Bicycle roadkill.

You know there are Indians there that will scalp you, best not to anger them.
Hit the pipe!

Boeing said:Once in the 90's we had a BMX bike turn left in front of my buddy and me onto our lane as we waited at a light. It was about 6:45 AM starting out on PCH. Thinking nothing of it at first I looked at the speed-o and we were at a conversationally comfortable 20mph...and the bmx was not coming back (so-to-speak). I thought WTF dude is pinning it it seems...So I turned it up and we caught up and passed at about 24 and I figured he was toast and it was over. from my buddy I hear the BMX guy was sitting in...24 in wheels mind you.....damn
So the ego that was back then kicked in and we hit a solid climb and I took it beyond tempo for some time... but I did not lose the BMX I lost my buddy who says to this day he fell off because he was laughing..(yea right). So it was me and the bmx dude sucking my wheel. ****ed me off I tell you
then he kicked up the RPM on what must have been a 190 mm crank and huge chain ring in his board shorts, vans and T.....and beat out sprinted me to the top of the climb.
I remember him distinctly looking over and thanking me for the pull and laughing. He turned left again and was gone.
I remember at the time guessing it might be a young Brian Lopes but he has since become quite recognizable and even ridden many group rides for training over the years and it was not him.
My buddy to this day thinks it was Hans Rey...maybe so, it was a GT
Hans if you are reading this please confirm. I need to let this go...as something more than a surfer dude motoring home from booty call...and dropping my weak a$$
strange but true and in some ways it is one of those memories you look back on like was that a dream? but I have a witness dammit
NashbarShorts said:Way out in countryside, stopped at small general store for some calories. Grabbed a banana, put it in jersey pocket, went to get a drink and chocolate. At the register, cashier was kind-looking older (65+) woman. Put items on counter, forgot banana, then remembered. Said, "whoops, forgot to show you my banana!". Her eyes got WIDE as I reached for it. Then she started giggling and flirting w/ me while totally ogling my cycling shorts. Made a comment about if I'm hiding anything else from her, I'd better show it to her now? Ha ha, but no thanks. But when I reached to get money from my jersey, she made comment, "oh, that's were you guys keep your wallet. There's certainly no room to fit anything else in THE FRONT, is there?"
Whoa, this woman was game. I turned red but also got a bit...aroused and no way to cover up. She took notice and had big smile on her face. Proceeded to chat me up more, but never made eye contact.
This was out in the countryside, nobody around. Probably could have gotten away with it if I had wanted! This was no MiLF, more like GiLF. (Except not even the "LF" part.) So I said goodbye and took off. Thought about it quite a bit on the ride home
Boeing said:grannys rub and tug. That is great. bwahahahahaha what happens in the countryside stays in the countryside is what I always say....
NashbarShorts said:Hey, I'm not above admitting I've actually stopped back in there a few times while on that ride. Have never seen her again though. Maybe she's working at the Thai massage place??
