My latest episode was on my Roadeo. I was leading a club ride, and as we were climbing a long hill another rider said, "I'm surprised you can climb so well on that bike." I'm sorry to say I snapped, "Come on, do the arithmetic. Can you tell the difference climbing if your water bottles are empty?" Of course, I should not have snapped at her. I regret it.
But for ****'s sake, she's a MacArthur-genius-grant physicist, and she can't figure out that three or four pounds bike weight is in the noise compared with how much water I have in my bottles, how much riding I've done the last few weeks, how much I overate in the holidays, whether I remembered to pump up my tires, how many extra clothes I'm carrying in the handlebar bag?
