So much to love in Bridie’s writing! I love (from the part 1 Ted posted)
This morning, as I was waiting for the file to arrive, I thought a lot about professional women roadies and their attitudes to racing.
For anyone who’s worked in and around our teams, it comes as no surprise. But for those who haven’t, maybe they don’t know that women suffer the same as men.
They grovel back through convoys, they ride with bleeding limbs/faces and they enjoy seeing opponents get punished as much as the next protour guy.
In my experience, Teutenberg wins the ‘making you suffer because I can’ award, Vos the ‘silent assassin’ award and Cooke the ‘putting it in the gutter to try to make you cry’ award.
Plain ol’ wholesome suffering.
But we can also be guilty of having that personal, sadistic streak. The one where we remember something you did last season and we’re not going to let you forget it.
Usually, the women trying to actually win the race aren’t bothered with it, but those fighting each other for National Team selection (Italians racing each other, for example), well that’s another story.
Aka Pigeons!

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
You could use a turbo trainer my dear...so much harder to doodsmak off ;)
It's pronounced "Int-CHOW-stie"
Hmmmm, that's pretty cheap suffering. Might have to look into it for the winter.
All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch.
When are you ever on the trainer? You can ride outside 13 months a year.
Don’t try and bullshit a bullshitter, Lady.

Once in a while
but not that often. This is true. But when I do ride it? Zomg! I have the hate.

Stop watching Surf videos while you ride it
That will help.

My turbo has moved to a permanent position on the landing.
This makes it easier to hop onto it for the odd brief spell when I have a moment but so far it’s not really working out like that. It makes a good clothes horse though.

i bought a trainer a while back
used it three times in three years and gave it away. the boredom was unbearable. i tried watching tv, playing video games, nothing would make it bearable.

Move up to Boston
You can ride in my garage with me 3 times a week.

I heard the CIA use this technique
When waterboarding failed, 2 sessions with Drew in the garage and that Al Qaeda guy gave up the locations of Bin Ladin, Jimmie Hoffa and the Yeti. And they didn’t even have to get on the trainers.
now that is torture.

That's only because Cheney lasted half a session.
No talking goes on in the garage, as TBL is on permanent loop.
