They tell me I should blog about bicycles. I am good at blooging generally, but blogging about cycling? This could get old. Old or boring. If I don't start somewhere though, how can I hope to be entertaining. And entertaining the masses? Or winning a bike for that matter? I would like to win a bike. I want to be able to ride up hills without getting angry and wanting to scream curses at the sky; but being too tired to do so. See my bike has no gears because it's a retro Malvern Star, and I love it, and so will not modify it. But if I had another bike... you can't have too many bikes right?
Glamour Push was on Tuesday and in the pouring rain a bunch of us strolled down to check it out and get out picture taken with a cool bike. Seems reasonable. These pictures are to be uploaded to the website next week I believe, we'll see if they made us look glamourous or hideous. I was very pleased that I scored a little compact kit that has a mirror and brush, that look as though they can survive road destruction, for my efforts. Maybe they can't survive road destruction; but they look like they can. At any rate - cool. I enjoy the fact that Glamour Push is encouraging ladies to ride in clothes they are comfortable in. I do this often because I do not ride for sport, and I do not feel comfortable wearing lycra.
The Pin Pals team are having a morning tea picnic event in Hyde Park this weekend to mark the beginning of the cycling challenge. We are supposedly going to ride round and round the lake in some sort of race. I refuse to race, the last time I was in Hyde Park on my bike I was wearing a gown and being photographed and falling off the bike. Gracefully of course. I don't think those paths are made for racing. Therefore, I am looking forward to this event both with excitement and a good serving of dread. Fear if you like too. And maybe some terror. With Deanne in charge, anything can happen. Maybe it'll be fine. I'm going to fall off aren't I? She'll push me off as she rides by in order to win. I maintain that because I am short, my distance should at least be doubled. Using this logic, I will win.
I will post some pictures if I remember to take any.
Until then, goodbye internet blogging site, I shall talk to you as a person no longer today.
