Or this...
But no...what really scares this MTB wanna-be is road
racing! Yes...road racing. As a MTBer I prefer the single line traffic
of single track or passing (or being passed by) other racers on 4 foot wide
double track. The idea of riding in a
pack of other racers surrounding you by a mere 3 -4 centimetres while riding at
40 – 50 km per hour terrifies me.
Actually that’s not the scary part...it’s the possibility of someone
clipping your tire and hitting the pavement at that speed amongst a mess of
broken carbon and spandex leg-shavers.
But I have a decent road bike, and I train on it alot, so a
couple of friends (of course much bigger than me) have bullied me (you know who
you are...Fig, Jeff, not to mention any names), into entering a road race. In fact, they badgered me until I was sad as
this guy.

They say it is good training for mountain bike racing...we will see...this
Saturday. My friends say to relax, have
a rye and Coke. Well I am restricting my
rye intake to try to stay in shape during the racing season, (besides when I
drink I want to eat everything in sight), and I don’t drink coke much after
seeing this ad...
Kind of angry ... like this guy
Sorry if I have offended you...not really...
Speaking of being offensive...a couple of readers of this
artwork, have asked why so many cat pics.
Well I have a couple of cats (they work great as louffas in the shower,
and I can rest assured that if I die on the couch choking on my coffee they won’t
let my body rot), but that’s not it. They
are just funny...actually I think cat’s may be either highly spiritual....or
autistic...
Anyways...getting way off track again...back to the stupid
road race. Lois tells me that no matter
what happens i will still be her Superman.
Don’t know if she means a doofus in a costume?
No..I am just a regular Metis man (does the planet Metis
have a red sun??)
Well getting well off track again. I will let you know how this silly race goes...
Stay posted!!
