Asses on Bikes

That's what we used to say to our AIDS ride training ride group after we'd been sitting around on a break for too long:  "c'mon people, it's time to get asses on bikes!"  I was a training ride leader back in the day (not in the front — I'm not that fast.  I was the sweep, the kind encouraging one in the back of the line making sure people didn't get lost, cheering them up hills and changing all the flat tires).  I finally got my ass on my bike this morning before work — it's about time given that my triathlon is on July 20th!  So far all of my bike training has been indoors.  Not good.  I also ran into Caleb biking his way to work — was good to catch up if only for a few minutes!

On an unrelated note, I had a weird moment in the shower this morning when I realized that the bottle of stuff I have been using for the past month or so was actually shampoo, not body wash.  I got it at Trader Joe's and must have picked up the wrong bottle by mistake — they look exactly alike (except, of course, that one says "shampoo").

    Bike on! And I suspect if you look at the ingredients in both the body wash and the shampoo, they will be disturbingly similar. I doubt you body knows the difference. You haven’t noticed any shine on your body, have you?

    Okay, if this doesn’t warrant a first-time comment, then nothing does: I discovered that I was doing the EXACT SAME thing with my Trader Joe’s “body wash” last week! I used about 3/4 of the bottle before realizing that it wasn’t actually body wash, but shampoo. And the stupid thing is, once I realized it was shampoo, I could NOT use it as body wash any more.
