ESJ rides

You never know when the ElvisSantaJesus (ESJ) ride will come. Today started with pancakes and meeting friends for a little one-bottle ride. Roads and trails were covered with snow, and enthusiasm was high as we cruised around BoCoMo. After about 2.5 hours, I started to wonder if my tires were going flat or if the trail was spongy. No one else was having problems. Then--bam. I started thinking about all the calorie-dense foods I have ever consumed. Tunnel vision with rice krispies treats and sodas whirling in the periphery fueled me to Coopers... wheee! chips, soda and rice krispies treats went down the hatch. My riding partners morphed into Elvis, Santa and Jesus. It was a religious experience. I cannot wait to do it again tomorrow, but I am leaving with 5 bottles filled with corn syrup.

Correction: Elvis, Santa and Jesus.
