Bike Riding when it's cold...

I thought I would share this little email exchange. My friend, Steve, invited me for a bike ride last weekend, and it was looking like it was going to be cold, so I sent him an email:

I may have to pass if it looks like it looked this morning... Brrrr... I don't have cold weather gear, so my suffering tolerance might be low...

I'll play it by ear and call you in the morning.

However, as long as you can promise me that it will be warm, easy, and very comfortable, I'm in. ;)

To which Steve responds:

I can promise that it will be warm, easy and comfortable. The only issue will be keeping your bicycle straight after drinking 1/2 bottle of tequila.

Steve

Sigh. How did I go so wrong in choosing my friends? :)
