The Best bike ride ever

So after my past for 4, and the three weeks before that were there was little or no biking except for the morning and afternoon commute I think I've had the best bike ride of my life. Last Friday I did a small short ride with Austin I was hurting, everything felt wrong absolutely horrible. Saturday was a nice ride but still getting over the pain from Friday and going where in the heck did all of my speed go. Saturday night we went to the Athens criterium 2009. It was amazing from watching in the infield and the outfield and watching the start of the mens race off of turn one there was nothing wrong with it. Sunday I went on a ride with justin and still feeling a little pain but nothing to bad and speed really picked up. Which brings us to today, first off my speed was there ok so the first two hills I defiantly didn't think I would have made it up and was getting ready to turn back because I was hurting so bad, but decided to get better I have to push for it. I got up the second hill pushed hard and my 2nd wind came and it seems like the rest of those just feel in behind it was crazy. Pedeled hard up the hills, down the hills around corners. Then to top it off as I was coming off of Maw bridge probably a mile out of Central I decided to finish a good ride right, which means off the saddle and pushing at 80% until the end and finishing with a 100%. Well out of no where a ferrari comes up behind me the guy goes "you look like your pushing it", gets in front of me and leads me all the way into central pushing the whole time playing a game of cat and mouse with a Ferrari I'm willing to bet there are guys who ride in italy who have never done that. So to top a good ride of and make it a great one I got a Ferrari to bring me in from the end of my ride!

I see no down side

there has to be no down side to owning a manual transmission
except for the fact that 95% of your friend's won't be able to drive one
and that there are none to be found

so for that reason I say, manual transmission you once and in my mind are still a statement of how much of a man you are, but people do not see it like that anymore, though it was what it once was a thing of legend it is now nothing more than what use to be, for that I am sorry manual transmission.
