I think I should give up making plans - horrible things tend to happen whenever I do...
Take this weekend for example - it was supposed to be a sliky ride through the 100km barrier - but it all went wrong long before I got on a bike! In actual fact I should have aborted the mission on Saturday morning based solely on the fact that I didn't get nearly enough sleep the night before due to some unforeseen circumstances...
Still being a hardcore and therefore stubborn individual meant that not even hell and high-water would have stopped me going out...
So first stop to grab some banananananananas from my local green grocer - alas they didn't have the typical Thai mini-torpedo variety and only the "normal" large curved sort - well they won't fit in my shirt (there is probably a joke in there) so declined and rode off in search of another grocer...
Can you believe that in 65km I didn't find another green grocer?
Anyway none of that mattered as much as what happened next - overcooked it turning into Wireless Road and decided to see how far I could slide instead of ride - turns out it was neither as comfortable nor as short as I would have liked - it also freakin hurt...
At that point I should have gone home but pride is a b'stard and so I continued to complete my 65km ride however at the end I was totally finished - even more so than when I have ridden 80km - took ages and ages to recover - at one point I didn't think I was going to!! lol
So this weekend = enforced break from the bike - not only am I a little scratched and bruised but hell it's also Songkran and I'll be up in glorious Chiang Mai getting wet (there is definately a joke in there) in good company!
