I hate wind!

So this weekend I have been on two training rides on my bike!

1. 16km yesterday with Hugh Magoo around the river.
2. 14km this morning with Josie around the Vines.

In case you have not noticed... that is 30km... in one weekend. Actually if I may include Friday I have a grand total of 48km in 3 days. How awesome is that!!

During my extensive cycling experience this weekend, I have confirmed that I hate wind! Yesterday Hugh and I were heading along the river with the Fremantle Doctor in our face. This morning at the Vines there was a horrid Easterly in our face. It just plum wears me out!! This is as bad as people putting freaking hills at the end of a ride. Just mean an totally uncalled for. I don't like mean people!!

So it is really lucky that there will not be any wind on our ride. Our maybe just a few gentle puffs to cool me down...

But then along comes helpful Paul! Apparently we are travelling into the prevailing winds on our ride. Now I have two questions... Does everyone have a super helpful partner who bursts their bubble or is it just me?? And secondly, I wonder if the organizers of the ride would mind just reversing the journey for me??


And, back to the important question of whether I should name my bike... LuLu says absolutely yes. I have two ideas in mind:

1. Stella - but you can't just say Stella... you have to do it like in Street Car Named Desire! SSSTEEEEELLLLLLAAAAAA!! If you are not familiar with Tennessee Williams you can say it like on Seinfeld when Elaine is on pain killers while visiting Jerry's parents in Florida. Either one always makes me laugh!
2. Penny - but you can just say Penny... you have to do it like on Big Bang Theory when Sheldon is knocking on her door. Penny.. Penny.. Penny.. Penny.. Penny. This show totally cracks me up. And sooo many of the people I know (and work with) are just like characters in this show!

Seems like maybe I watch too much TV! But, the good news is that is getting to be less of a problem know that I am spending every spare minute training or organizing the Quizzie! 

So I will let you know when I make my decision... happy to receive input from my wonderful friends!
