Charma Techno, ????. Beautiful Day, U2. Red Skies at Night, Fixx. Terminator X, Public Enemy... However long it takes to play those 10 songs was the ride time.

I was thinking about this while turning over the pedals today....but I wonder when it went from a ride to training?  I went on my first ride at age 4...tried a friends bike.  Pushed off the curb and started pedaling for all I was worth.  Right before I crashed into a parked car was when I decided that riding a bike was why I was here on earth.  Did my first BMX race at age 5...webco was the bike...astrabula forks weighed as much as I did.  I won because I had to pedal the entire time...I couldnt coast because my free wheel was bound up.  I had to jump off after the finish because the handbrake didnt work.

I rode/raced all through high school...I could not get enough!  I rode to school and then when school was over I rode until I had to go home.  There were a bunch of us always out messing around...launching of the hood/winshield of feiros...making jumps and trails in the park...we rode everywhere!

In college when all my BMX buddies decided to start mountain biking I took to the road.  The road bikes felt faster and less...well...stupid...more refined!  I road off and on but just about veryday I could... There was no reason behind it...just fun.  Then I showed up at a crit in the parking lot of BYU...I was dropped the first lap....then the international center...same thing happened.  Sometime between getting dropped those two days and now everyride became a training ride/race.  How did that happen???
