About 20 times over the course of my 8-hour workday.<BR/><BR/>Then, right before I made this blog post, I was asked the same thing twice in under one minute. <BR/><BR/>You'd rant, too.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-69140016377491296412007-09-12T13:03:00.000-05:002007-09-12T13:03:00.000-05:00not trying to be rude, but...so what? tell them w...not trying to be rude, but...so what? tell them what's going on. the frustration i've see from most folks is not knowing about the race. once they found out about it, they were really excited.<BR/><BR/>yesterday was a great day--people left their offices in droves to watch it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-29480630346622015882007-09-12T11:29:00.000-05:002007-09-12T11:29:00.000-05:00Geez!

I've been asked if I dope when I ride, the same question you got asked, how do I keep my butt from hurting on that little saddle, having people going to church flip me off for giving them some extra space to make a left turn..you get the idea. <BR/><BR/>Just consider it an opportunity to inform them about cycling and preach the gospel of 2-wheeled joy....hehe.<BR/><BR/>I was a volunteer for the ToM yesterday and it was great to tell spectators what was going on, when the finish would happen, etc. <BR/><BR/>You're already a great bike evangelist with this blog and the ToM is out of town now so maybe things will calm down.<BR/><BR/>Also get some recovery time in and get well, buddy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-45567186786879964232007-09-12T08:28:00.000-05:002007-09-12T08:28:00.000-05:00During the TDF a co-worker asked me why I wasn't r...During the TDF a co-worker asked me why I wasn't riding in that race in France. I explained 1)I don't race and 2) I'm a little past my prime. Her reply was, "Oh you should do it, what with all the riding you do you'd do great". I politely thanked her and found a reason to excuse myself.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.com
