    Get into cycling. T-Rex gets no love… But baby big guns suck on the hills… but baby put your forearm next to it, see? My legs are each bigger than your waist. Bae, I’ll be back some time after dark, got to build base like almost every day for the last month. I can’t go out tonight bae, my race starts at 8 am tomorrow. No I won’t be able to tomorrow either. I have a recovery ride to do and then I’ll be wiped out completely.

    The odds of meeting people on the road for extracurricular activities is pretty much nill for a racer. The odds of simply finding anyone that can keep up is pretty much impossible unless you actually meet and invite them, and group rides are usually like unofficial races. Roadie kit is like super anon costume too.

        mfw, I absolutely destroy like a god on MTB

        No joke, I was super dangerous on mountain before I was disabled by a driver equivalent of a third grader behind the wheel. Some of my worst crashes were on mountain. I was not super mobile or skilled, but had the legs to fly. I rode a 6in travel carbon cannondale jekyll to try and make up the difference and get myself out of some hairy situations. On an XC bike, I crush all… till I crash.

        Mountain is fun, like a vacation, but a mountain bike can only be a friend, while a road bike is like a really great lover. If you know, you know.
