I Hate Bike Racing
Submitted by Adam Myerson on Sat, 04/11/2009 - 19:33.
So not only did I completely fuck up the finish at Marblehead last weekend and have to replay that in my head over and over again all week, today I flatted out of the winning break of 5 with a lap and half to go, just after Mark McCormack attacked the break to win solo.
I'm going to nap now, and then try to self-medicate at Bukowski's later. It's without a doubt the most overpriced beer bar in Boston, so hopefully I won't get into too much trouble. If I was a wall-puncher, now would be a good time.

- adammyerson: If you don't know what I mean by "mid-shoe/foot cleat placement," you should be googling for the answer...

"If I was a wall-puncher, now would be a good time."
During high school and college I got 2 boxer's fractures in my left hand and 1 in my right from losing fights to walls. Potential season-ender there so it's best you aren't a wall-puncher
No more wall punching for me, either, though I too have had some boxer's fractures and embarrassing holes in the wall to explain. But if it makes you feel any better I flatted out of my race today, too. Right as I was about to catch the break....it was a long ride home. Sew-ups for Battenkill, for sure.

Dont hate on punching walls, its relieving and then you get the dual pleasure of a)getting zen'd out while fixing drywall and b)impressing ur friends w how "handy" u are.
Just make sure it's your wall.
Now where do I find one of those fedora's you said were all the rage??
