Buddhism Today - Brian Vaugh

Hi I'm Brian and this is my 7th year of the AngelRide it is difficult for me to tell you all the reasons why I ride every year. If you choose not to ride with me here are some face saving reasons you can use.
The 10 reasons why you shouldn't ride this year.
1.You probably like going to your sister-in-laws house, as you do every year, for that potato salad that has been cooking in the sun all day.
2. You enjoy diving home on the evening of the 'drinkinest' weekend of the year for the challange of makeing it home with no dents in your car.
3. You make such a big difference in the world that you deserve a break.
4. You dont want to spoil this weekend by thinking there are some less fortunite that you.
5. This is about kids and 'Children and their problems should be seen and not heard:"
6. If it rains my bike will get wet.
7. Spandex makes my butt look fat.
8. All those riders are so filled with alacrity they make me sick.
9. I dont want show those amatures up,
10..Beer is better for you than Gatgor Aid.
11. If I do it just once ill probably want to do it again.
12. I would'nt be caught dead in one of those Jonny-on-the-spots.!!
13. There might be places on the route where there is no cell coverage.
14. I would have to tell my friends what I'm doing this weekend and ask them to support me and they probably wouldn't like me any more.
15. I might finish last,.
16. I might come in first.
17. If I do well I might be asked to ride in the Tour de France
18. Helmet hair, sun burn,.
