Excuses for blowing off a Training Ride

Excuses we’ve heard for blowing off Training Rides:

  • I have to cover my wife’s plants (used in Gainesville, Florida by a supposed local hard man).
  • I haven’t washed my tights since last winter.
  • Moths ate my wool jersey.
  • I have a baby shower going on.
  • I left my legs at the charity ride.
  • I can’t find my plum cozy (modified cod piece).
  • I have to be at the University President’s house at 5:30pm.
  • I’m not showing because there are green blobs on the radar map.
  • The gaps in my 1x drivetrain aren’t suitable for the local terrain.
  • I forgot to charge my Di2 battery.

 Excuses K-Dogg has heard:

  • There’s a football game on.
  • I drank two beers last night.
  • All I have is f’n tea!
  • I have to go to church to please my f’n mother in law.
  • Game traffic will be bad.
  • All I have are f’n 25mm Road tires. I will be crushed in the sign sprints.
  • I had a deep tissue massage last night.
  • I forgot to charge my Garmin.
  • J.D. (local mechanic) is putting new spooge in my tires and the shop doesn’t open ’til 10.
  • The gravel route is deep sand and I only have a straight block (that’s a cassette in the modern-day lingo).
  • I’m out of sunscreen.

This article dedicated to the November 2014 Florida cold snap that the local soft serves were complaining about.

Charlie Gaul would be having none of these excuses.
