ANNUAL MEETING BRINGS FOCUS ON THE COMING RIDING SEASON

The Nobodies assembled with great anticipation, not only about the coming riding season but about the swirling rumors regarding the many new prospects and the slogan for 2015. No one was disappointed when President Kickstand introduced the potential members and the slogan. The ride calendar also created much buzz as it is creative and ambitious.

Due to our extensive policies regarding prospect anonymity, we cannot reveal the names of any of our potential new members. Let's just say they all embody the needed characteristics of a Nobody; no one notices when they enter a crowded room, they are contributing to society in ways that will never be noticed and they are comfortable being ignored and overlooked.

The ride calendar was approved with a couple of needed corrections.

FIRST DAY OF SPRING

It has been a tough winter, especially since my only other hobbies are: smoking, cat herding and crossword puzzles.  


I have March 20th circled on my calendar, as the day to get the cycle out and officially begin the riding season, I will not be riding today.  I just don't like to ride in freezing temperatures anymore. It doesn't have anything to do with being smarter or more in my right mind, but simply speaks of the impracticability of bundling up and enduring the cold seeping into my bones. If you are riding today in some northern region, where winter still has a bit of a hold, congratulations. You are an inspiration to many. I'm going to wait a few more days....or perhaps it will be weeks.
