If you, as am I, are now surrendered to the tedium of indoor spinning you might want to check out the newest video training offerings by THE SUFFERFEST.
If you’re not into that kind of bodily thrashing and you just need some intellectual stimulation as you spin, I recommend watching Chris Hedges lament The Death Of The Liberal Class following which, you should grab a cuppa and then call me for a debrief discussion.
I see that Jim is not yet succumbed to natures forces and still found the fortitude to ride St Pierre today. I would also note that at precisely 11-11-11-11 the go-Nad was not deep in reflection (as I drove past him hammering his way to Le Routier for his eggs).
Sorry, Ron, I didn’t see you. As you know, it’s very difficult to see into cars because of the reflection and if they honk, it’s doubly confusing because you don’t know whether it’s a friendly honk or a hostile honk. Then you have to decide whether to give them a friendly wave or the middle finger——so many decisions!!!!!! Anyway, happy spinning. (As for me, I’d rather chew on broken glass than ride a bike indoors on a trainer or rollers.)
Why do I now have Annie Lennox and “Broken Glass” stuck in my head? Hey, that might be a good soundtrack for spinning!
I had no idea it was a song.
Walking On Broken Glass —Annie Lennox.
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you
Since you’ve abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won’t you pick the pieces up
’cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
The sun’s still shining in the big blue sky
But it don’t mean nothing to me
Oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
I’m living in an empty room
With all the windows smashed
And I’ve got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
And if you’re trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
Cause if you’re trying to cut me down
I know that you’ll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There’s nothing left to fear
Cause if you want to hurt me
You’re doing really well my dear
Now everyone of us was made to suffer
Everyone of us was made to weep
But we’ve been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep…
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don’t let me keep on walking…
Walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
Hold strong Jim and ride outdoors till you can ride no more. I put in a good 100+ km. in the last 3 days. What a fall. If we are lucky maybe we will be able to ride into December.
