The Wisdom of Fast Albert


Things I learned today that I had learned before but I never seem to really be able to apply to my life. Maybe If I write them down and put them in my wallet I’ll remember.

1) Riding when sick can be hard.

2) Riding with injured ribs hurts

3) Aches and pains associated with sickness makes injured ribs hurt more.

4) Riding a single speed uses more upper body strength and makes sore ribs hurt more.

5) Climbing makes you breathe harder and makes injured ribs hurt more.

6) Riding in cold air makes sick lungs really hurt.

7) Riding in cold air makes a sore throat hurt more.

8) Climbing on sort of mushy damp ground is harder on a single speed.

9) Don’t pick a route with climbing when you are sick.

10) Don’t pick a route with many rocks when your ribs hurt.

11) When you are sick you really don’t have as much strength as usual.

12) It is hard to get a good night sleep when your ribs hurt.

13) When you are aren’t feeling well you should just turn around and take it easy – don’t keep riding until you reach your original objective – it may be a long slow painful ride back.

14) Don’t wait until Sunday night to go to work and finish those projects.

15) Don’t take a break from your projects to write silly lists or you won’t ever get rest or finish projects.
