Can't Keep An Old Dog Down

Oh yeah!
Just cos I'm stuck up here in MI don't mean life is over - oh no! Got myself a fixie and a bad attitude, what more does a guy need? Just cos its a bit on the warm side - like historically hot - isn't gonna keep this dog in the kennel. TdF on the box, what more inspiration does a guy need. So choice made, gotta get out here and put some miles on the road.
Camelback filled to brim, even topped up on the sun screen and hit the road -whoa! Hotter than Nicole Kidman in "Dead Calm". Went South, didn't kill the old self but toughed it out for two hours before turned round for home.
Love the dirt roads in MI, teeth chattering, bone shaking, dust raising fun that needs to be tried to be believed. Corrugated sections made me wish I was somewhere else but what the heck. Three hours in and time to refuel. Hit a store in Dansville - not accepting cards so money a bit tight. need water and cheap calories, in full calorie melt-down. Gallon water, cosmic brownie and half dozen Donettes. Sit outside and tuck in.
Wow people in Dansville are big (less politically correctly - FAT!) All the adults I saw were impressive in their bulk. Not just over-weight but Sumo-stylee Freakin' massive. Waddling, leaning back to balance the gut 'kin huge. Fatsville USA!! Only ordinary-sized people I saw were the three young girls sitting in car outside store as I gorged myself on the cheap calories. Not exactly slender themselves, but at least i suspect they can still see their feet when they stand up. All I can say is "Get out of here as fast as you can girls, I've seen your future.... And it's obese".
So my day was freakin awesome 72 miles of fixie magic, over 4 hours in the saddle.
Oh Yeah!!

Till next time
