What Is The World Coming To???

I’d mentioned I’ve taken to riding fake bikes in the name of training. My boredom is saved by timing my “rides” with The Daily Show and The Colbert Report playing on the TV in front of me.

Back in 2007, September to be exact, I sold my vehicle. I vowed to go it without one. I rented cars when I needed to go far out town. I used mass transit occasionally as well.

The planets are now completely out of alignment. About one (1) month ago I leased a vehicle. For any of you who’ve been vehicle free for an extended time and then have gone back, you know how hard it is to sign your name on the dotted line. Crap.

For reasons that are my own I’ll say that it was fairly necessary for me to do so. And I’ll admit I’ve driven the thing when we’ve had our two shots of very crappy weather.

The hardest part to stomach, for me, is as the weather improved and will continue to, the thing will be sitting much, much more than it is going to be used. It will get used on the necessary things. And, since I plan to do some races and / or rides far away in 2010, I’ll use it to get to and fro.

I should note I’ve leased the vehicle and not purchased it. My need for a vehicle expires just before the lease is up. I’ll turn it in as the cosmic forces re-align the planets and once again, I can be righteous.


Ride On.
