No I'm good, but I laid out two clear rules that are not up for debate.

I'm a little sleepy today now that you mention it.

Get a power nap. Glad you're good. I like those flat thin pretzels with s good salsa and a beer right around five in the summer. Not many, it just makes me happy.

Grand Jete.  Not easy to do.  Hours of workouts, bone spurs stress fractures. These kids bodies get beat up.

that looks like the kind of event For bin would nominate himself to judge.

Don't know about that, but I know because of dance two girls pretty easily rip up trails on bikes. Also did hurdles fairly well and drive their lazy ass dad around a course pretty well.

Charge your phone.

Exactly. Doesn't seem like a big deal. Never has. But to some it's "grueling" I guess.

it certainly doesn't compare to the intensity associated with judged dance-offs.

Or non athletic morons on trails ahead of us who think they're some kind of Olympic athlete cause they're riding a bike.

sometimes the truth just lets us know we're kind of, a little bit, just a smear, like a ****.

I'm confused.

(granted, I graduated from MSU.. so, ya know.. it's not a shock. But I have no idea what you mean)

Is that sport or a skill? Is it a judged activity?

I'll need to take a "grueling " 20 miler to think about that.

In what world is golf not a sport? You guys are out of your god damn minds.

you can come with me tomorrow morning.. (though I'm be doing about 35 miles - I'll show you where to cut back at).. 7:30, my house.

if dancing is considered a sport, I'd throw golf in, as well. At least golf isn't judged.

When you go for a ride on a grueling morning ten'er, is that judged?  

Keep that handle straight. Watch for cracks.

I don't know.. I don't even really wake up and get the blood flowing until around 8 miles..

thanks, man.. I truly haven't had a "bad" crash.. ever, really. I've had a few little mishaps - almost killed myself once on a road in North Carolina (think wet, curvy mountain road, 23 mm tires and an oncoming car)..

did have a mtn bike crash on the Poto last year near Pinckney.. over a year ago and my shoulder still hurts when I sleep in certain positions. That was mostly my fault though and wasn't as much a "crash" as it was doing something dumb (if you can possibly believe that).

Have a good weekend and GO GREEN!!

Sounds grueling.

I'm OK with calling any competitive physical activity a sport honestly. Ping Pong? Sure why not.

It is critical that you have standards rake. Otherwise you end up dating some fat chick from Michigan.

As soon as you kick Forrest Gumps ass, we'll talk.

I do have standards.

1) Must be competitive.
2) Must be physical activity.
3) No fat chicks.

I know you won't see this for at least 48 hours Bob. But damn you are a pretty self righteous son of a bitch.

Seems that you are fine with "like minded" people but completely judge mental of anyone that doesn't share your views.

In short, you're kind of a dick.

You can save your very predictable come back. We have all heard it several thousand times.

Are you a person of faith ?
Do you play golf ?
Do you enjoy northern Michigan ?
Do you enjoy water, like lakes and oceans ?
Do you like craft beer ?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, Bob thinks you are an idiot and will mock you repeatedly.

Bob's burden is that he's always the smartest guy in the room. That's got to be a huge burden on him. I imagine he laments that while he's doing those morning 20's.

It's a game. Riding a bike is an activity.
