Went to pick up lunch for the office. Coworker’s pizza wouldn’t fit in my basket, had to improvise.

UNIVERSAL TRUTH OF CYCLING #25: YOUR SHADOW ALWAYS MAKES YOU LOOK AWFUL.
Ahhh, our shadow. In children’s stories it was always our best friend, never leaving our side. Then again, like most of our best friends to this day, it’s also pretty good at bursting our bubble, popping the ego just when we’re feeling pretty good about ourselves.
Best friend or not, our shadow can be a real tool sometimes.
Rhys thinks his shadow makes him look like a rickety old woman. My shadow always looks like a ghoul or a complete dork, sitting bolt-upright. I swear one time my shadow had pendulous breasts. Criminy.
The fact that we’ve let our shadows – the twisted, distorted image of ourselves that’s as real as a funhouse mirror – get to us, proves just how fragile our egos can be after miles in the saddle.
But then we ultimately snap out of it. We get centered and laugh it off. It doesn’t matter. We’re too experienced to let matters of the ego truly get in the way of a wonderful ride.
That, and we saw this picture of The Badger and even his shadow looked like a goblin so it made us feel better.
