Eating the Armco - a final post. 5/20/2005
I did something very silly yesterday. Something so ridiculously stupid, considering my age and experience. What it is that happened isn’t important. What is important is that I should have known better.
So I have resolved that this Saturday morning, on the CTYV ride, I am going to be rider harder, and closer to edge, on the road, than ever before. I’m throwing all safety margins out the window. I’m going to push hard, to see if I can end it all. Eating the armco, in the parlance of a certain group of riders from 20 years ago in my past.
At least I will, perhaps, go out doing what I love best, in my quest for the perfect corner. I’m leaving it all in the hands of the Great God Speed. I have sent the Silver Lady in for prepping, and I’m leaving most of my safety gear at home. We shall see what happens.
If there is no post in hunting the snark on Tuesday, you may assume that I have solved the mystery of what lies in the Great Beyond.
