NO RIDE - MOVIE NIGHT - YAWN

Looks like there isn't going to be a ride tonight because every one that rides a bike, or likes you to think they ride a bike, is going to this damn movie. I'm not sure, but I think I've seen it before. While many people and reviewers think it is a "hidden jewel" as far as romantic comedy is concerned, I'm not so sure. What I am sure of is,that is was one of John Belushi's last, if not his last movie, and I blame his demise on this film. Frankly, the movie sucked. It wasn't romantic, or funny, for my money. And what it has to do with bicycles, I have no idea.

Here's an boring-as-hell 8-minute clip from the movie that's about the Continental Divide or Riding the Divide, ALONE, or whatever. See if you can stand watching this whole piece of crap. I couldn't. And don't bother looking for me at the movie. I won't be there. I guess that means more popcorn for you.

  1. I'm not going to the Movie, and I thought I rode a bike. Damm here I am and all delusional working my ass off and shit in just dropped my TACO! I better find out what I've been doing wrong, no wonder my ass is getting bigger!

  2. I can confirm that you ride a bike Kahuna. And rather well as I recall all the way back to Tuesday. And I think your ass is getting smaller, not that I spend a lot of time dwelling on the size of your ass. Ever read the book the "Rider"? Great book about what goes on in a guy's head during a One Day Classic style bike race in Holland decades ago. One racer says to another while they're racing, "I remember you when you had a fat ass."

    That just made me laugh so hard that my Sombrero just fell on the ...

  3. Just heard that the first showing of Continental Divide Riding is sold out! Good to know there are still so many Belushi fans. Hey, is that my taco down there?

  4. I’m riding.

    And for those of you who prefer to expand your posteriors at the movies tonight, have fun, but don’t blame me if you get dropped like a Taco on the next ride.

    Adios

  6. What a day I finally made it to a hotel. 3:00 (am) wakeup call cancelled 5:45 flight on a new one at 5:50. Finally made it to Philly, got lost in the snow covered jungle (18" of snow!). Found the customer site. Long meeting. Boring business dinner, only to find our my 7:30am flight got cancelled so now rescheduled for a crappy 5:50am flight (yes another dark 0:30 wake up call). That leaves all kinds of time to think about riding while eating Philly Tacos. There is still time to screw up the flights tomorrow....I wish I was watching a movie and eating GRR tacos!
