Baptism by Submersion!

In an effort to commit to making next season the best season ever, this past Saturday I embarked on a dirt road ride to undiscovered land, lead by none other than the Simonster.

The invite read: Come join me for a post-season weight management ride this Saturday.

My thoughts: I could shed a few this time of year; this will be an enjoyable stroll through some unknown northern dirt roads with my good buddy Michael.

What I learned: The Simonster is not human. He does not feel pain. As the Russian said in Rocky 4, “He is a machine”.

The hills never stopped as we got further and further away from our origination. At about mile 60 of 75 my legs just stopped and told me to knock off the non-sense.

All in all it was a good ride and a great wake-up call that I am definitely out of form right now. I have four months to get myself fit for next year. I think if I keep sucking the wheel of Mike, I have nowhere to go but up.

Here is a hint about the Simonster rides ! Never poke the Bees nest and never ever think you can beat him to the top of any hill. Talk about nice easy things and if you here him bring up JHK, Eatough, Matter or any Big Gun, hold on for dear life cause the shit is about to get hard............
