spent much of it in Salt Lake City for the Outdoor Retailer Show. It was awesome to see many of my friends that I rode with on the hybrid pedal tour. That was outstanding.
outside of making a couple of smoothies for some friends at the show I didn't do too much riding this week.
I did make it down the shop to help my brother with his recent bike fit issues. He tackles the Pan-Mass ride next weekend. While I was in there the large man was bouncing around as he got his first mountain bike and was clearly stoked.His wife asked him," are you happy you have your new toy?"
The large man again bounding around the shop says, "yeah, this is awesome. I can't wait to be biking, I'm gonna ride all over the place, I'm gonna ride here, there, I'm gonna have fun" Then he turns and points squarely at me and announces," I'm gonna get skinny like that dude!"
I smiled broadly, and told him that I don't think I had ever been called skinny in my life. The shop boys all laughed, because of course they know I am fatmarc.
we'll see if I can't try and get out on a bike this week.

Oh for fucks sake... YOU ARE SKINNY.
I love it! Once a year or so ago I was on a rare group ride. I was standing with another riding friend of mine and one of the dudes in the group who we didn't know called us "the two skinny dudes" and I had the SAME reaction.
More importantly, I do love the giddyness that grown men and women can get with the purchase of a bike. I think it's the thoughts of all the places that two wheels might take them, and thoughts of becoming skinny- like you.
Even though it is very hot in SLC right now you missed out on some very nice trails. If you ever get out this way again you should bring a bike and check it out. Contact me and I will either show you where or put you in touch with some one track minds.
