The Tao of Jim
   Thoughts and Stuff
 

Wear spandex when you weight 287lbs. That is motivation. Especially when you ride with people who weight  100+ pounds less then you.

 

 I am going through the life changing process of learning how to lose. See, I have always excelled, at everything…especially athletics.  Now that I am riding my bike all the time, its not a matter of being the strongest person.  I am having a hard time accepting that fact. Want some motivation? Try having your wife hand your ass to you daily on a bike.  I am sure it will make me a better person and all that bullshit…but right now it sucks. I know this makes me a horrible person because I am making it competitive, but it’s the only way I know. I guess admitting it is the first step right?

    Nah, I just need to stop being a wuss and realize life is not about winning all the time...or some other sappy saying.

    Well, Jim, remember, winning isn't everything but loosing has little to recommend it.... mwahahahahahaha (that was an evil laugh in case you couldn't tell).... but, hey, I bet you look adorable in spandex ! It probably doesn't make your butt look big.... mwahahahahahahah (evil laugh again....) Sorry, I will go away now.

    OK, I'm back.... and in the words of Vince Lombardi (also probably not a bicyclist) Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.
