Two Brains

Went for a ride this morning.

It wasn’t very good.

It was like I had two brains. One was all excited and ready going “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Let’s ride! Hit some jumps, tight corners, and do some climbs!”

While the other was like “Huh?”

I’d come to a particularly gnarly section I’ve ridden a bunch of times before all excited to kill it and just end up tucking the front wheel and biffing.

It was like hitting the buffet with huge hungry eyes and sitting down with a tiny stomach.

I was out of sync.

I kept hoping the second brain would wake up and kick in, but no luck. Finally I gave in and resolved to simply ride.

Can’t say I did that much better.

Oh  well. At least Gretchen got out.
