The definition of Irony...

Today I had signed up for a bike race where all proceeds go towards buying under-privileged youth bikes and helmets. When I registered a couple weeks ago I also included additional funds for more helmets for the kiddos.
Today I woke up at 4:30 am, got in the car and drove 75 miles to the start location. Guess what? Yep, I forgot my helmet at home
So what did I do? Picked up my free t-shirt and got back in my car and drove the 75 miles home
Actually I wasn't too disappointed... when I left my house at 5am it was 68*. The race was pretty much due north, and when I got there it was 48* with about a 40 mph wind.
I was waaayyy under dressed to ride in that weather.
As a quasi-bamboo related twist I came back home and it was 64*... I guess the Gulf of Mexico really does help shield my house from the cold. Good for my bamboo
