HALF THE PELOTON DROPPED ON OLD TOWN ROAD

HALF THE PELOTON DROPPED ON OLD TOWN ROAD

IT'S NEVER A SURPRISE WHEN HALF THE BUNCH IS DROPPED.  It always happens.  What always delivers a smile, especially when I'm among the dropped, is...

... how many people are shocked to be there.

Of the 50% who are dropped, I'd guess 10% are caught completely off guard.

The other 40% knew they were,
outmatched,
unprepared.

I was thinking about this listening to Lil' Nas' Old Town Road, with lines like...

     Can't nobody tell me nothin'

     Like a Marlboro Man so I'll kick on back

     Wish I could roll on back to that Old Town Road

... giving clues to how they got there.

Unteachable.
Smokin' cigs, being lazy.
Wishin' things were different.

Who's the greatest coach ever...
What do we need to give up...
What do need to do...

... to be in position to win the ultimate prize?

Racing,
just life in miniature.

Stay Ready my friends.
