That is, of course, a gender-neutral “b!tch” because the title is roughly the argument I present to that @$$hole in my melon committee who is incessantly nagging for a day off.
This is what I thought on the way up “The Wall “, long about the time I wanted to walk it up the last half: “F@ck you, motherf@cker! You will push those motherf@ckin’ pedals around till you’re on top of that f@ckin’ hill. Now MOVE!”
That is not a happy-go-lucky smile on my face. Happy showed up at the top of the hill.
I know most people want pretty happy talk nowadays. Nice, little motivational quotes like… cripes I can’t even think of any right now. The Web oozes with that bullshit. Oh, here’s a good one I read the other day:
Our Existence is our presence that the world can see, feel and experience through our work, our impact, our presence.
What a crock of $#!+. If one were to speak to oneself like that, well, just plan on riding with the D group I guess.
Dude, I truly believe that had I thought that gobbledygook, I wouldn’t have walked my bike up that hill. I’d have taken the old-timer’s route around it.
I’ll never understand all of that silly happy talk, and for that I am grateful.
Ride hard my friends.

Ha I don’t even understand what that quote means. The “motivational quotes” I use are “it’s meant to hurt” – “if it wasn’t hard I wouldn’t be doing this” – “I ran a marathon I can do this” – and “my mind gives up 10x faster than my body”. That’ll get you up the hill!!
See, those are great. I’m talking about the foo-foo inspirational quotes that have no meaning. “I am good enough because I am [insert darn near anything here]… To tell you the truth, I just read that little blurb I quoted and felt like a rant.
Nah. You probably do believe in them somewhere deep inside–but not about cycling.
This. THIS is the kind of post I understand. 🙂
Yeah, no. Not really. 🤗😉🖒
LOL!
