Today the PCR’s originally ventured out to begin their ride in Coalville, up
Echo Canyon then to Henefer. We lost Mike Glauser because the entirety of
his focus is on a book, which is still in the process of creation. (At
his advanced age we are worried that the accuracy of what actually happened
over a year ago might also be lost. But on the bright side, he will no
doubt draw on his vastly creative mind and find more interesting gloss to put
on the stories, unmoored by reality.) But we found Mary, who joined us
for a short while, but we lost her and Sexy Legs after the majority of us tired
of the ride. They rode further, no doubt for hours, and then went for a
run: Total Insanity!
The most notable loss of the ride was when
Big Man realized that he lost his shoes (really Scott?; of all the things you
have to bring on a bike ride that are not commonly used/worn by normal people:
a bike, a helmet, gloves, and sunglasses, you chose to forget your shoes, which
about 100 percent of the people walking the face of planet earth wear!).
On the bright side, when he went back to find his shoes, the rest of the group
found solace in his absence, but lost the original starting point, to
accommodate his desire to rejoin us. The solace was instantaneously lost
when Big Man found the group after he found his shoes.
Dr. J lost his sense of humor and became defensive (maybe a little middle class
guilt) when the group found out that he found a new BMW (complete with vanity
license plates). Some things will never be lost. Such as the Little
Man’s caustic sense of humor, which was evidenced by his attack on Hale’s lack
of contribution to the state of his landscaping, his desire to be in the front
of the pack, Sexy Leg’s seemingly eternal youthful and good looks, Big
Man’s unstinting positive attitude and Hale’s envy of all the forgoing.
We continue to feel the loss of our Biking Brother Briggs, but we found comfort
reflecting on fond memories of time spent with him riding our favorite
routes. We miss you Brother and hope you are smiling as you ride in the
front of the pack.
Always stop and read the signs.... People spend good time and money for us to read these...
and you might learn something new.... :-)
Don't stop riding or you might turn into STONE!
