Arghhh

Yesterday was National Talk Like a Pirate Day. No kidding. The original intent of this blog was to present endurance recipes and to help my writing skills by discussing my cycling. Enough of that, I don't think I had as much fun as I did yesterday going around talking like a pirate. Its easy to belt out an Arghhhh when talking to customers and you find something has gone wrong, very wrong.

Another discussion happened in the email world of back and forth banter about stopping the whole idea sponsor organized cycling teams, and racing for yourself or rather as a group, but not for any sponsor. Not unlike pirates working for themselves and not a country. We discussed various shorts and jersey styles, and a having a trained parrot that would ride back in the peloton to crack out discouraging squawks such as "Your weak, You scurvy ridden carcass, give up now...Arghhh". Ok that wasn't my idea, but I thought it was very funny, and kept me smiling all day. So when you are down on the idea of of an organized team, think about wearing all black and acting the life of a pirate cyclist.
