    speaking of the gym!!

    -people who try and lift incredible amounts of weight when doing the exercise wrong or cheating the exercise

    -people who sit on the bench and listen to their iPods for 5 minutes in between sets

    --Dogs running lose on the trail. When you finally see the owner, they don't even have a leash with them. Not a bad dog peeve, but a bad owner peeve.

    --I saw a lady on the freeway a while ago who had a cigarette and Starbucks in one hand, was applying make-up with the other, cell phone cradled on her shoulder yakking away. She must've been steering with her knee. All while doing 60 mph in the #2 lane.

    --I saw a guy eating soup while driving down the freeway. SOUP!! IN A BOWL AND EVERYTHING!! WTF??!!

    Sorry ahead of time... I've been riding bikes on fire roads before there were mtn bikes, plain and simple. What I dispise is this holyer than thou attitude of a trails right of way. I don't care what it is just take the dam practicle route you stupid dorks. This is in regard to me grinding uphill on a fireroad and the smooth line happens to be on the left, I then get some p-rick coming at me for at least 50 yards holding his brakes expecting me to move over. Ef-um! I don't move! And they actually have stopped in front of me STILL! So I stop and stare right back at their punk arse and digress to the 3rd grade... "Wanna fight about it?" They ride off shaking their head.

    It comes from them perhaps being the good cubscout I suppose, for me, it's the law of physics. Sure, I look up and down trail to look for people. my problem is why when they look ahead that they just can't steer clear??? I'll tell you why, because they are slow! There I said it, hate words! LOL Ha!

    people using the last 30 feet of the merge lane to make it 2 cars further. when i see that happening i ride half way in the e-lane, not a chance in hell they want to meet the back end of the ranger.

    people who insist on squeezing off motorcycles riders on the freeway. its legal to split lanes in california, so move over. if not i hope you dont mind your mirror being folded in.
