We're seeing the same people over and over again
Wednesday, Jul-25 @ 08:07 PM
The mass exodus of riders is around 6 am every morning. Serena and I are probably the last 3000 people who straggle along the route. Our trike is really slow so we have begun to make "passing relationships" with many of the people. Some make the same comment about us; some get mad that we have passed them for the 4th time in a day (they stopped to drink
some have nick named us. Here are the comments I can remember:
* There's the paddle-boat again!
* Where's the water? [For the paddle-boat.]
* How's the couch!
* Lovebirds...
* When was the last time y'all fought?
* What do y'all do when y'all fight?
* Do y'all still like each other?
* Was this ride prescribed by the therapist?
* Who does the most peddling?
* Hey! Your cheating... Your feet are up and she's doing all the work! [I was having leg problems.]
* Cool!
* At least y'all are in style... Even if y'all are slow!
* There are the Texans!
* Do y'all ever stop at the towns?
* One person even sang 2 verses of the "Bicycle built for two" song to us.
And the Tall Dogs yell "Tall Dog" as they pass. We either respond with "Tall Dog!" or bark like a dog. That's their motto/sniff.
By the time we make it to camp at night, they notice us and welcome us into the group. Had we been riding typical bikes, they may have never noticed us.
