Today when I woke up at 5 AM to meet up with the group riding out to Musashiitsukaichi station for the very long ride that was planned >> HERE << I had lots of excuses NOT to go, I had only gotten 4 hours of fitful sleep, I had the trots most of the day before, I was tired, it was cold out there and my bed was nice and warm. I negotiated with myself to get up, get dressed and then ride to Nishi-Eifuku to meet up with Joe and others, it was about an 8 Km ride, I knew by then I'd be warmed up, and if I still felt like crap warmed over, I'd just head home and call it a day. When I got to the meet point I was the first one there, for once, and it was still cold, but a hot tea warmed me up, then Joe and Ed showed up with Andreas waiting for us just up the road. I decided that I was good to go, I was not planning nor did I have time for the whole ride, had to be back to Shinjuku for work by about 1 PM, but I figured I'd ride out to the meet up place at Musashiitsukaichi and then head home, would be a good 100Km ride.
Now let me show you something that I found inspiring, and I'm not meaning to be negative in any way shape or form, so don't go there, this is only to be positive and hold up a great example.
This is Joe Wein, our fearless leader on the ride today, notice the super light bike, and all the high tech clothing..... me neither
Yes those are blue jeans folks, BLUE JEANS
and the next item up.....
How about those cotton work gloves
Joe you inspire, really, you are a hard man, and you have fun and get a lot of great miles in, thanks!
So, I ask again, "What's your excuse?"
Cheers!
