Or so says my roommate... I look really good at a distance, up close I'm a hot mess lol.
I love her, so let me explain. Over the long weekend I decided to drag the wife out of the house and go for a bike ride, we are way behind on miles this spring. Near us there is a bike trail that runs along the E-way. I t was just repaved and is always empty.
I decided to wear my usual riding clothes, sports bra with a cami over it, short bike shorts with running shorts over them and a bandana.
It was hot, 92 I talked at a resting point about just riding in my sports bra. I didn't feel to comfortable with how I looked, so I left it on. About another mile down the road I had enough, off came the top. As the trail once again got close to the E-way the horns started. The first couple, I didn't think about, but all of the sudden it hit me . They were honking at us.. There were no other riders on the trail, and guys waived at us.
The next day while I was riding, different path it happened again. Horns and wolf whistles, and one guy who slowed down and paced me for about a half mile, despite my being on a bike path well of the road.
I did 20 miles of rolling hills in high humidity in the high 80's I was dirty sweaty feeling/looking nasty.
So, I get home and tell my wife and roommate what happened, that is when she said "You're a Monet, you look really good at a distance, or at a glance. But up close you are a hot mess"
I am happy to say, that I am not a Piccaso. :)
