LGRaB Summer Games - 3rd entry - book about *cycling*

in celebration of the

1) completion of my killer June college class

and

2) the end of yet another year of subbing and successful networking,

I

decided

to treat myself to

a mani/pedi

after work yesterday

and

buy myself

a fun new

*bike book*:

i needed a book about cycling to read

as one of the bulleted challenges of the

second round of the LGRaB Summer Games

[first round completed challenges blogged about here and here]

i chose this book because i'm obsessed with

language, and how people put into words

feelings & thoughts on things i love.

in short, i love quotes. more specifically, i love good quotes,

and so many of them about biking are found

in this little *lasagna square* of a book.

***

i also thought,

rather than a book i'd have to read cover to cover

to gain the full story and/or message/plot,

i could pick this up whenever to

get a quick dose of inspiration,

and

now i have a resource for

many many *bike quotes*

[categorized by bike-topic]

to use in future posts.

*yay*
***

i even brought the book out to dinner last night

where the boyf and i took turns reading to each other,

and

laughing at the oh-so-true snippets.

in between reading,

we noshed on reeeeaaaally bland chicken francese:

and

oh-so-watered-down

chicken parmesan:

yeah. sucks when food looks good, but sucks.

later on,

i read some more in bed.

i put my *Clark Kent* glasses on

for atmosphere. hee hee.

first quote i thought i'd share:
"Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short, as you feel. But ride." -- Eddy Merckx
