A day in the life of
the sabrosa....
Ride Journal entry 32, July 24th:
The alarm went off at 5:30 AM this morning. Made
my coffee. Threw on some tunes. Mounted my thermos
to the downtube. And rolled. Took the long way
downtown. Hit the alley as a cut through to the park.
A little single track before 7 AM. Can’t complain. Back
out into traffi c. Hit that last pothole hard. Weaved
between a bus and a cab. Something about cabs makes
me think they can’t see bikes. Work was a drag all
morning and I couldn’t help but sneak a peek outside
to see the weather. Who am I kidding? It doesn’t
matter, my Sabrosa can take anything the weather
produces. But that sun is calling to me. Snuck out at
lunch for some single track over by the golf course.
Ended up taking the long way back when a group of
road bikers came by me. I just had to take the sprint.
Snuck back in without the boss noticing. But then one
of the other bosses needed something urgently. How
many bosses do I have? Whatever. I have the lights on
the Sabrosa anyway today just in case. Ended up
working until 9 PM. Had to make more coffee. But the
ride home was sweet. The crisp Summer air reminded
me of why I do this everyday. Live to work, no way.
Live to ride, everyday. And with all of the options my
Sabrosa offers me, there really isn’t another reason.
