346 days till next year…
Oh my, how do we fill the hours till next year? Well, let me assure you, Team Satisfied is not a team to rest on it laurels. We have been keeping up our training routine as best we can, however the time we have to spend on our “jobs” and “responsibilities” is lost.
Notably, Sunshine and Sparkle led a Team Satisfied contingent to the most revered of all Jaycee activities, “Clive after Five.” S&S were happy to find a segment of the congenial Monkeys in attendance as well. As will happen, CAF turned into a couple of beers at a place aptly named Drink- which not surprisingly spawned a couple more at the 3rd Base Sports Bar- which then morphed into a nightcap at the Whiskey River. So Sparkle didn’t make it into work on Saturday (it was optional!) and Sunshine still hasn’t gotten her lawn mowed- oh well…
Sunday was a great day for riding so the spinning portion of our training continued with a 26 miler that ended with Sparkle’s first flat tire. Three years without incident is pretty good we’d say. Sunshine and Sugar got in a true training ride the following day while Sparkle had to miss due to previous commitments. Anyway, Sunshine and Sugar ran into Sassy at their “rest stop.” We can all be sure that it was a good thing that Sparkle was available to practice her sag driving abilities.
Team Satisfied’s next stop is the granddaddy of all people watching events, The Iowa State Fair. Don’t miss it if you are in the area. If you aren’t in the area- put it on your calendar for next year. If you are already planning to stop, keep an eye out for us. It’s a big place and people can be hard to find but a good start would be ruling out all the people committing heinous crimes against fashion. Another suggestion is to look where cold beer is served and the music is loud and live. Otherwise, we’ll be in the midway, mullet hunting. See ya’ll there!
Rider off.

Ok, lets get something straight. Team unsatisfied has no laurels to rest on. Slowww riding, when you actually do ride. It should be team satisfied to sag. What training routine? Riding your bikes 10 to 15 miles at 8mph and drinking does not constitute training. Lets just call it what it is, drinking. Put your bikes in the back of the truck, drive to the bar, park, and start drinking. If it makes you feel better you can take the bikes out of the truck and lean them against the bar. We saw your performance on RAGBRAI and know the truth.
Hmm, somebody knows this team well!!!
Hey Anonymous 1- The only way you'd know how fast they were going is if you were riding with them, otherwise you assume facts not in evidence. Your other point about them not having any laurels actually supports their position. They must ride a LOT to such shapely and toned laurels...
Hey Anonymous 1 - Is that sour grapes I read?

List 5 things you enjoy, even when no one is around and you want to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal… and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.
