fall city riding

even our four legged friends like bike rides!  say hello to the coolest chorkie in the world, sophie!   i should invent pooch helmets.  where would her ears go though?!?!

let's take a short diversion here...

we are going to take a short break from talking about anything cycling related here.  i have a small confession to make, i love american football.  i love the redskins!  you can feel free to scroll back a page or two and see a little post i made about a year ago in regards to my beloved redskins.  not only have they not won a superbowl since 1988, but, well, the team has since seem to be in some sort of behind the scenes breakdown.  they have also added making a few bad decisions to the mix.  i think we can all relate to the latter.
so this year, i decided i wanted to do fantasy football.  i asked my sister if i could join the league she was in last year.  she informed me i was too late in asking, and the league was filled.  bummer...  well, fast forward two weeks and i received a text from my sis asking me if i was still interested.  sure! i responded back, with enthusiasm!  i agreed to the $40 buy in and excitedly looked forward to fantasy draft day!
team peadalphile (best name, ever?) was selected and i was eager for september 12th to arrive.  well, now it's september 13 and monday night football has come to an end.  team pedalphile is just doing meh.  i never realized how many statistics were involved in the game of football.  is anyone really good at this?  i'll throw you a $20 and my password, and you bench the people i need to for the upcoming week!

fall is here!

as much as i hate cold weather, i don't think i could be any happier to welcome fall! it's a time for new beginnings. summer was fun, but i let someone in to my life who was a bit toxic. i did the right thing by letting them be in it no more. i was a bit distressed about my decision at first, but soon came to realize that it was the right one. better late than never, right? it's not my responsibility to play "captain save a ho" or whatever the term would be for ladies. speaking of which, help me coin a term!! soo, hello fall! i welcome you with my wool sweaters! maybe we can skip over winter this year. salt on the streets = no good for my bike and cold weather = even colder when biking.
