y'awl crazy, man!

Dh bought a new bike last week. He's an avid mountain biker, out about 3 times a week on butt busting territory, absolutely nuts. but he recently decided he needed to get into tour de france style biking so he got a new bike and went out on a long run the following day, which was last saturday - 95 kilometers. I was like, man! i can't believe that dufus!
well, ...it gets worse. i'm taking remi and alex to their grandma's in the pyrenees where they'll stay for 5 days. He is going ahead of us...yep, you guessed it, on his bike! doh! its about250 kilometers (155 miles!!!!!) the last 90 of which are very steep mountains!
he's just crazy!!!! It's going to be a ten hour hot gruelling bike ride. what an idiot. i can't figure out if i'm proud of him or angry with him or annoyed or what. hope he's ok though...

Wow, that sounds insane! But... it also sounds really cool. He must be in pretty good shape! It reminds me of the summers I spent in France when I was a kid - on weekends when we were out driving we'd run past these packs of bicyclists, all wearing the same "pro" jerseys, so serious! If you want a laugh about cycling, I recommend the animated movie Les Triplettes de Belleville. It is hilarious!

Ok...I think you should be proud of him. But, I have to tell you what I saw today. I watched Oprah with Dr. Oz.....anyway....apparently cycling can cut off the blood flow to "certain areas" and cause impotence. Just though DH might want that info. It is a LONG ride. lol
