I GUESS I HAVE A BAD REPUTATION
IT'S FUNNY HOW MANY PEOPLE I INVITE TO RIDE WITH ME who turn me down. There are two main reasons...
... one of them is legit.
The most common reason comes from people who never ride with me, are newer to the sport and who are certain I'm way too fast.
But, let's just take a look at a typical week and see if this group is justified.
Typical week for me is 2 hard days and 3-4 ez daze.
They are so certain, Your easy days are too hard for me, they won't even join me for jaunt around down. The best part is, when they do...
... they halfwheel and wanna drag race the entire time.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to have a casual conversation and knock out some recovery Zone 1 miles or lay down some Zone 2 base.
When they do join, if I can get 'em to behave, we end up having a great ride getting to know each other better. Occasionally, this type of rider will get sucked into my evil ways and venture out on a hard ride...
... and wind up shellacking me over time.
I'm down with that most of the time, except for when they get into the second group that turns me down for a ride...
... the SOBs that are too fast, and unwilling to let The Old Diesel tag along.
Like all bad reputations...
... what comes around goes around.

One of the fun things I get to do is deliver on a customer's suggestion, like JIm L's...
Can you make me a calendar that is a little smaller than the Giant size?
Sure.
So, we did that, then for fun I added it as an option...

... and turns other people like that size and are purchasing it as well.
Got any ideas?
