The Suitcase of Courage Vs. The Designer Bag of Courage...


On saturdays ride, as I was nearing bonking and cramping strange muscles I never knew I had, the Kyler told me to dig into my suit case of courage.

For the next few miles I thought of this strange advice.


If Ludo D, Michele Bartoli, and Andrei Tchmil had suitcases of courage, I think it would look like this...
But for people like myself, and my friend Pepe, it would look more like this...a Louis Vuitton Handbag of Courage,

or in my friend Pepechins case, perhaps a Hermes Handbag of Courage.

It is too early in the season to go rooting around in the handbag. By taking things out of the bag now, you are depriving yourself of items that you will need later in the season at Battenkill. Tell the Kyler to ease the F up and save the hammering for a more appropriate part of the season.
My handbag of courage would definitely be Mulburry or perhaps a Gucci calf skin shoulder bag, impractical, yet admired for its bling.

Sadly it was not even the pace that got me but the cold and the hours in the saddle.
