I debated which group I should join as I watched the young, flat-bellied males move towards the 'fast ride' group while the 9 year old kids and fat old women went to the 'slow-ride' group. Inexplicably my bike went with the younger males even though I knew very well that I needed to go ride with the old women.
I did manage to stay with the fast group for the entire ride, without complaining or slowing the group down. I said my goodbyes to the group, packed my bike onto the car, made my way out of the park, pulled my car to the side of the road, and projectile vomited all over Collins Street in n. arglington.
(but that was then....doing much better today.)

on the other hand, My work had their annual health screening day today.... I STARTED biking after the screening during my second year here, when all of my indicators had nosed down. that was 2005.
