Gnome Ride
May 9th, 2007 |Mrs. Smithers and I had hamburgers for dinner on Monday night.
Now I know why I felt so bad on the Urthel ride last night. I am sure that’s the reason.
I noticed that my heart rate was 10–15 beats per mintue above normal as we rolled west from Minneapolis. I also noticed a couple of Grumpy ladies sitting beside the Greenway path in SLP. Why are those ladies so Grumpy? I don’t know.
Speaking of grumpy, we saw the usual yelling match between some ride participants as we rounded Baker Park. I don’t know what it is about this ride that brings out the yelling but it seems to be a weekly occurance. Maybe we need to change the name of this ride to the Yelling Ride. Come on out and yell. Actually, don’t.
Anyway, I was happy to hang on to the ride for the duration. It was not easy, but this ride never is easy for me.
