Overheard on Yesterday's Ride

"Tough way to start the day."
"This is hard. No, actually, the trail's not hard, it's just that I suck."
"This trail is kicking my butt."
"Man, I'm old."
"Man, I'm weak."
"I am such a spaz on my bike".
"I'm a mess."
"I can't believe how much of this I am walking."
"I used to be able to ride this kind of stuff."
"This is going to take forever."
"Perhaps we should have ridden this the opposite direction."
"I think we should've just stuck with Horse Thief Bench."
"It's too early in the season for this."

Clearly we had fun! Just as clearly, we're a bunch of whiners... But, we did not fail.
