Pedal Your Troubles Away

PCRs, I would like to share an article that Cory "Tow Truck" Hawke sent me today. Remember what Dr. J said about him as you read this....

Some of us pedal because we’re angry.
Some of us pedal because we’re happy, or at least we hope to be.
Some of us pedal because we don’t know what else to do.

A Special Evening - For Special Women

Riding on a cool fall afternoon up City Creek Canyon, amongst the beautiful colors of autumn, creates moments of brilliance. On this day, Steve Hale was inspired, as he often now is that he has found his spiritual side, to suggest an ALL male-prepared dinner/event for our SPECIAL WOMEN. After hours of thought and meditation, assignments were made and the results... YES, were EPIC!

 SPECIAL  Invitation for SPECIAL Women

 

The women decided to separate themselves from the Help

 and talk about the important things of life,

BLACK FRIDAY.......

.... where the Help did what they do best, EAT!

After the main course was served, we were treating to a TOAST/ROAST by Dr. J. The video clip below gives you a flavor of what GREAT TALENT rides with the PCRs.

"TO THE WOMEN"

After treating ourselves to a to-die-for dessert item, the PCRs put on a number that will go down in the history books. With the talent of a 25 year LOTOJA rider, Val "Liberace" Ludlow and a lot of HOT AIR, the Women were entertained to a Hollywood production of

 

"THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A DAME"

 

The evening came to a close as each of the PCRs gave a personal tribute to the woman in their life. Captain Briggs sent out strict instructions that we were to keep it to "one minute" and be "creative". He lead us off, which he very seldom did while riding this year, and broke the first rule. However, with his poem he set the bar WAY HIGH. Hale recited Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 (from memory) and Jensen also had a poem. The rest of us, tried to hang in and not get left behind the lead riders. THE PACE WAS FAST and thank goodness NO ONE CRASHED..... :-)

 

An Ode by a Toad to the Most Beautiful Girl on the Road

by Kim Briggs

 

Always concerned about my dress, so I don’t look like a total mess

I gave her quite a fright, cause my first jersey was real tight

“You can’t go out like that”, ‘cause you’re so big and fat

So I donned a giant “T”, that went halfway to my knees

 

Now she never holds her nose, when I’m wear’n skin tight clothes

She pretends to really care with a smile, when I tell her about each mile after mile

If I accidentally wake her up too early, she’s hardly ever very surly

And if I’s happen to “crashes”, she say’s “hey…what’s up with the rashes”

 

She’s my first best gal at LOTOJAY, she knows just what to do and say

She feeds my face in that dang long race, and tells me to keep up the pace

Her ‘SAG Wagon’ skills are second to none, even when my legs are done

She tell’s me I’m a “wunderkind”, and makes me feel that I “ride like the wind”

 

I’m the luckiest guy ever to ride, ‘cause I have my first best girl by my side

She’s so skinny and cute and she still gives a hoot, ‘bout me and us and our family to boot

So thanks for enduring my woesome IQ, what I really want to say is “Vicki I love you”

She liked my Ode too little I fear, but I still must ask “can I ride it next year?”

 

 

Shakespeare's Sonnet 116

 

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

 

 WE ARE TRULY BLESSED
TO  HAVE SUCH
GREAT WOMEN IN OUR LIVES

Winter Has Arrived

Our weekly Saturday ride was canceled due to Mother Nature.... :-( However, the blog quality has improved, (I mean pictures/videos....) with a NEW gift from the FAM, YES!

Stay WARM!

 

 

Todd & Andrea Wood, have you ever seen one of these?
