My Bicycle and Me

MY heart rate raced as I sat and marveled at this machine. A Cervelo S-5 carbon Bicycle. This must be a dream! So Aerodynamic and efficient with a stream lined design. With a DI-2 shifter that shifts precisely and is so divine. I'm sitting here for several hours on my new racing bike. They're tweaking it perfectly, and making it right. A true masterpiece that is designed for speed. Which every adrenaline junkie definitely needs. I quickly fall in love with the way that it feels. At ten thousand dollars, its quality revealed. As I get on it, it fits like a glove. I shift it quickly as I start to take off. I race with an accelerating rhythm, at maximum speed. What an experience, a euphoric feeling that overtakes me! My heart pounds with excitement and my thighs start to burn, as lactic acid builds up, rounding an apex of a treacherous turn. I glanced at my Garmin , peddling quickly in this competitive race. Twenty-six miles an hour, I average, pushing myself, at a grueling pace! My heart pumps as I spin up this hill, anticipating the descent, oh my what a thrill! I try catching my breath as my lungs cry out for air. Reaching a pinnacle point of exhaustion, and borderline despair! I'm pushing my cadence with everything I got. Failure is not an option, like it or not! I'm shooting for King of the Mountain, in this heart stopping mile. Thank God it's all over, as I stop and relax, for a while! It's all finished now, as I check out the Strava on line. And much to my amazement, I am the fastest, of all time!! I wish I could take credit, and be solely responsible for this great feat, but I know in my heart, it was a great effort, made by My Bicycle and Me.
