Rides, rides...

I went on a ride on Monday and Tuesday. As it turns out, work decided to cancel training for Tuesday, and have us come in next Tuesday AND the following Tuesday. That means I would have to cancel on Richard three Tuesdays in a row. I sent my team lead an e-mail saying, "No, I can't do that." They should have had their shit together.

The ride on Monday was supposed to be a "recovery" ride, but we ended up going up a ton of hills. We did a hill called Yaupon, and on the way up, I noticed Michael and another rider turned off about halfway up, so I did the same. Afterwards, I felt like I had cheated. Next time, I'll go up the entire way. It was a fairly long, steep hill, and pretty hard. I decided at the last minute to join the Tuesday night ride last night. Some parts of the ride, I felt strong, while others, I couldn't go faster than 10 MPH. A guy that I see on a lot of the rides I do said he was going to report me for doping. He thought I did really well on Monday night, lol.

I've noticed that a lot of times, the people that I've had conflicts/arguments with are also the ones I end up getting along with the best, for the most part. Lindsey... I hated her for a good six months when I met her (I later found out she hated me too). Randi... she set me up with her ex, Justin, but I soon realized he still had a big thing for her, so instead of hating him, I hated her. But then after Justin and I broke up, I started hanging out with Randi, and we had a blast. I recently had an argument with a guy on BikeForums.net about women and dating. We got into some heated arguments, but now we're talking on friendly terms. I no longer talk to Lindsey or Randi, though.

Oh, the drama in my life. ;)
