Today I rode to Charlton Flats. It's getting very hot now and the sun is burning me even with tonnes of spf 60+ sunscreen. Each time I get back from a ride, I get an extra tan line - which if planned and executed strategically, can be made into a gradual tan smear (instead of a horrible line). Still, I don't want to have uneven colors on me as well each time you get tanned, it's actually skin damage. So I got arm and leg coolers which look ridiculous but I have to wear them. Of course, I don't want to look THAT ridiculous so I wear arm coolers one day and leg coolers the next. Today I put on my leg coolers and had to explain to some ignorant cyclists that they are not leg warmers. There were many cyclists on the 2. I passed an old woman cyclist, then I felt that she had to keep me in her sight. And after several miles, the awkward moment when you are overtaken by a 50+ years old woman happened. As I looked at her wrinkled cottage cheese legs, I wondered where the power came from. After awhile, she couldn't keep it up, but I decided not to pass her since we are close to the rest stop. I then rode on to Red Box and from there to Charlton Flats. This was my first time riding to Charlton Flats. It had beautiful scenery especially in the beginning.
Random fact 1: I just realized that I am double-jointed. Apparently only 1% of the population is. I can rotate my shoulders and elbows a full 180 degrees and make my thumb touch my forearm (it feels very normal, but it does look quite odd because I've never seen others doing it). And people who are double-jointed are very unresponsive to anesthesia. No wonder! I woke up hallucinating during my wisdom teeth removal operation. And when I removed my big toe nail I needed 3 shots instead of the typical 1 shot of anesthesia. I wonder if there are any advantages to being double-jointed? hmmm
Random fact 2: When it comes to dating, I just realized that I have very high standards. Actually I don't think they are high standards, it's just that not many people meet that standard. Anyway, I met this guy who was fit, smart and quite good looking (and when he smiles he looked like Jude Law). And he was very very nice to me. So I decided to give him a chance and in the process give myself a chance. Not a good idea! I got so annoyed at him I nearly killed myself. He agrees with every single thing I say and I am always correct. If I love myself that much I can just look at the mirror all the time. I want someone who's not afraid to state his own opinion and who can challenge me, is that too much to ask?! Apparently so.
I can't wait to go home. I plan to cycle 5 times a week. I will be taking my little brother or sister on my 'recovery rides' :) And when I get home all exhausted and starving, I shall eat mum's awesome cooking. I will have so much fun surrounded by people that I love. I've already told mum about this, so she'd be doing what she likes best, cooking for the family aka me, and I will be doing what I like best, eating her delicious cooking :D
Damn! My left knee hurts so much from cycling. I may have to cut my ride short tomorrow :( I'm getting my bike professionally fitted.
