The Top Ten Reasons Why I'm not Riding this Weekend

10.  I thought "Friends for Life" was a dating service, turns out it was a cycling club, go figure!

  9.  I'm having my roots done...see reason #10.

  8.  I'll come out when I'm in better shape...wait a minute... how am I going to get into better shape?

  7.  It's too...cold...windy...hot...sunny...dark...rainy...foggy...and oh, what about that tornado that was spotted in southwest Ontario that's headed our way!

  6.  The Ride Calendar doesn't suit my schedule, I can only ride on Friday's.

  5.  I don't like those snobby Ride Leaders always telling me where to go!

  4.  The rides are too...fast...slow...long...short..repetitive...boring!

  3.  Can't I just skip the ride and meet everyone for a beer on the patio at the Regency later! (perfectly acceptable).

  2.  I'd rather ride alone. I mean social contact is highly overrated, I think? See reason #10 again.

  1.  I can't understand all that Italian being spoken on rides...<Que bella giornata> what's that mean anyway? This is Canada isn't it!
