Im Coming Out

    Lately I've been trying to justify constantly talking about training and general chit chat about cycling!! I moved from another sport which was probably deemed to be a bit more acceptable! For me this sport seems to be a more obsessive than others I've been involved with!

    This all became too much for my friends when I brought them around to my apartment and there was a CRC parcel waiting outside my door! I had to kick it inside without them seeing it (like it was a drug filled parcel). One guy spotted my sudden panic as I tried to explain it was just energry gels and I would die in the wicklow mountains without them!!

    Later on in the evening my firend took me aside and said I may have a problem because Im either 1) on the bike 2) talking about been on the bike 3) looking at people on a bike on tv 4) Insisting people should be on a bike

    All above is without actually seeing me kitted out in lycra. I think if they saw me kitted they would try commit me to a mental institution!

    If I was gay I would imagine the process of coming out would be similar.

    Maybe there should be some sort of support group for people suddenly turning up in public wearing tight fitting clothing!

    That's ok, at least you aren't a triathlete.

    What about a closet triathlete ?

    What I want to know is who left a parcel clearly marked chain reaction cycles outside your door for any passing scrote to take. I mean that could of contained carbon pedals or a carbon seatpost or carbon bottle holder what the fu%k:mad: That postman needs to cop himself on

    Ha I know. I thought the same myself but it saved me a trip down the depot!! The people in the adjacent apartments know not to mess with the weirdo wearing tight fitting clothes with mysterious packages arriving at the door!!
