You don’t eat okra boiled solo – you eat gumbo, or fried okra. Gumbo is heavenly!

Excellent post! I will no longer say that “I suffered thru a bag of Doritos.” Best wishes on your recovery.

MattC….

Been there done that, David and I are donating a bike in your name right now.

We have often been broke beyond belief over our pets, since life is cancer free for all our family right now, we’ll share some holiday spirit with you.

So now you have some skin in the bike winning game!

Man, there are a lot of tetchy people that are way, way too invested in the romanticized lexicon they use to describe a hobby.

Hope your surgery went well. You haven’t said anything about it for awhile, but while I’m at it, I hope everything is going well with your son’s treatment too.

Well said! I wish I had your eloquence. I believe the worst suffering I ever did was with an abscessed tooth … indescribable pain. But was it worse that the dislocated knee about 45 miles from home? When I got home (on my bike) I was in pain but proud of myself for getting there. Now, that’s entertainment.

Suf’fering: “having to watch and wait and still NOT winning the most awesome Specialized FSR niner Mountain bike”.

That is a much harder form of suffering than I ever do ON the bike.

However I must fess-up that I have zero chance of winning ANYTHING at this moment in time (as I am broke beyond belief and haven’t donated yet…my 4-legged baby is fighting cancer right now and ALL our available funds are channeled her way…it’s staggering how much a week in a Veterinary ICU plus surgery costs these days)..however I will slip in a bit before it’s over, I promise (and thus risking getting skinned alive by my accountant/wife…which would indeed constitute suffering of the highest degree).

Or would it be considered NOT suffering if I voluntarily donate and get caught and skinned alive?

A good bike ride is when you you get off the bike at the end, and fall down.

Left index finger and right elbow injured at the same time? A good way to avoid a repeat of this type of injury sequence is next time you win a race do not point at your competitors with your left hand while waving a heavy trophy with your right arm while chanting I won, I won, I won. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
