A Children's Book

So when you ride 80+ miles, you have a lot of time to think.  Much of the time, you spend trying not to think about how hard the ride is. So you set you mind on various tasks that you can really chew on.

Last week my teammate Kristie and I spent a good amount of time thinking about different foods one could wrap in a tortilla and would be tasty on a bike ride.  I settled on a sushi type wrap with sushi rice, scrambled egg, cucumber, soy sauce and maybe some sesame.  Wrapped in seaweed and then wrapped in the lavash for good carb measure.   We had a good 1.5 hour climb, so there were lots of variations.

Anyhow, the most recent mind-distracting project has been a "children's" book about the Death Ride.  But since it's hard to remember whole paragraphs at a time, I've only been able to write and remember chapter titles.   Here's what we've got so far:

• The Sorting Ride
• A Llama with a Sweater
• Fish Granola
• Rainy Day Death
• Let's Design a Jersey!
• Popsicle Angel
• My Angry, Angry Ass

Stay tuned to see how the book turns out!  Like a chapter?  Why not donate to a good cause?  Or better yet, why not donate to two good causes? 

And for good measure a picture from our ride last week.
