Golden Rides...

By Rose Greenleaf

No one tells you these dirty little secrets when they first try to induct you into their secret club. No one mentions these trivial absurdities when they woo you with flashy bikes and attempt to indoctrinate you into their "healthy" lifestyle.

you've arrived when you pee on the bike. Have you pee'd on the bike?" I stopped half way up the guy's back, the zipper peemaking the perfect sound effect.... "Well, I,...uh,...No. I haven't." I hung my head in shame. I glanced around as the group looked at me with concern. I secretly hoped this was a sick joke. "Well, if you're going to get through your Ironman, you'd better find out now," said someone who just placed high in his age group at Racine and who's name will go unmentioned. *coughEriccough*
