[BHV] Five Lakes and a Steak

[Kingsbury's Cyclery]

Some people go to church, sit there and think about riding, others go riding and think about God

  Bill,

  Nicely written.  I don't consider it thoughtlessness at all but thanks for the apology.  I completely why the ride is on Sunday.  I hope you know I was only kidding with you.  Maybe one day, I will be able to get in a Sunday ride with you all.  For now, I'll continue my current practice of attending an actual church and while doing so, I'll be thinking of you all praying for blessing and safety.  And I know you all will be thinking of me, wishing you were where I was ;-D  ..... okay so maybe not.  Either way, I trust you will all have an awesome time when it rolls around and I'll just look forward to the other opportunities. 

  Jeremiah

    Jeremiah, 


    I acknowledge a surge of thoughtlessness on my part (for which I apologize), helped along by the momentum of tradition, and abetted by the apparently standard scheduling of bike races and bike shop hours on Saturdays and of the FLCC touring calendar on Sundays.


    Can you start a ministry to Sunday bike riders, administered from the bike?  A small group of rarely church attending Catholics has started up the Congregation of the Blessed Fausto;  we give ourselves credit (and hope it counts) every time we go by a church (of any denomination) on Sunday rides.  We ecumenically give members of others denominations or non-denominations, even non-believers, credit as well, if they are along for the ride.  We have been known to stop at one particularly well-situated church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, at the top of the last big hill on The Brick, to catch our breath, to catch the view, even to offer some whispered prayers of thanks for getting us to the spot where it's all downhill from there.   It wouldn't hurt to have some discretely applied professional guidance.


    For a (very Italian) view of the spiritual aspect of cycling see:  http://www.canadiancyclist.com/races03/mtbworlds/ghisallo/frameset.htm


    There's a nice picture of a bust of our patron there, among pictures of other more or less sacred mementos and relics.

      September 28th sounds like a great day for a ride. The nice people in NY central cross series have scheduled buck hill for Saturday the 27th this year.  They must want to drink beer at the Rosterfish too.  Mark me down as attending.

        Not just a ride, but a ride and a gathering of hungry and thirsty
        riders afterwards.  Always a good combination, that always seems to
        lead to a good time.

        It's getting to be that time.   Tradition has it that this will be
        the last Sunday in September, and I'm hoping that tradition will
        prevail, since Lou and I  will not be available either of the
        preceding two weekends.

        Lou and I are hoping to have ourselves fit and ready for the century,
        will do the half century if not that far along in our training season
        (time is running out, we know).

        Roosterfish again?  (Why not?)  Time to start getting a head count
        for our reservation?
