Speaking only for myself, I went back over the past 10 pages and read what I posted. I've been supportive of others, encouraging, made observations, shared interesting information, been corrected a time or two, made apologies where necessary, actually even tried to rope in the 'seriousness' of the thread...

I couldn't agree more.

There's obviously a huge amount of animosity for people who pursue fitness goals and share their process

Gotta disagree with you on that one.

I haven't seen one comment, by those who are serious about their training, that came across as sounding like an attitude of superiority towards those who don't train more seriously.

Agree completely. 


Which is why, for fun, I came up with that little ditty (while on my roadie, mashing my pedals yesterday) because of all the other threads popping up.  No other reason.  None.  I could've posted about what it takes to be fit showing horses and show jumping because it's the only other "sport" I was somewhat good at but I couldn't come up with a "funny" post that wouldn't be a cure for insomnia other than the only other thing I know relatively well:  cycling.

I'm only sorry for the ugliness (but mildly entertaining) that my post has brought out (Randimus will be dealt with, again, when he gets home).  Not sorry for how anyone (mis)interpreted what was supposed to be a funny post - and something that you WOULD hear on any given day in Boulder or Bend or any other cycling mecca.   

Back to normal fitness type nonsense, ok? ok.     ;D
