It was a
collective effort on the ride today from Wanship up Chalk Creek to the Wyoming
boarder and back – 65 miles. Prez. Hale won stage 1, followed by Dr. J, Bruner/Biggest
Loser Coach and Professor Glauser. Even little man Lloyd with his recently
repaired back beat BIG MAN Wood on his ride to the mouth of Brighton Canyon – BIG
MAN was nowhere in sight. The day was “0” for “7” for the BIG MAN.
Getting beat
down can actually be a positive experience. It gives us a chance to reflect on
our values, goals, character, and commitment to training. Will BIG MAN decide
he doesn’t care about the shellacking and accept his role as a sold mid-level domestique
who tells good jokes, runs the camera and writes the Blog? Or will he come back
like a charging bull that has seen red? You will have to join the ride next
Saturday to find out.
One positive
outcome from the day’s ride was the team stayed together in perfect formation
from the Wyoming boarder to Coalville. When the Professor took one of his turns
out front the song “Let’s Work Together” by Canned Heat came on his iPhone. When he
looked back and saw the line as straight as a pencil it brought tears to his
eyes… :’) This may become a new trend for this typically unruly crew.
Together we’ll stand, divided we’ll fall
Come on now people let’s get on the ball
And work together, come on come on
Let’s work together, now now people
Because together we will stand
Every boy, every girl, and man

Some teams drive to the top and run down, others do both.... :-)
"Has anyone seen Prez. Hale? If I wait tooo long, my legs start to stiffen up"
This is why we ride early...... GREAT lighting and NO CARS!
