ate something that did not agree with her. This morning at spin class, I was able to position myself away from the the two fat guys that usually end up right in front of me and stink up my workout. Nothing is worse than having a guys ass 2 feet in front of you for an hour while you are breathing with your mouth open working out. Not a pretty picture I know, so I figured I was safe today as I took the back corner bike and the 3 bikes around me were all girls.
About 10 minutes into the class, a horrible smell punched me in the face. After the initial shock, I realized that it had to be one of them as the fans were actually blowing away from us and there was nowhere else it could have come from. That was not what made me the most upset, but the fact that I was the only guy in the area, the other two that didn’t fart (as well as anyone else in the room subjected to it) would assume it was me because girls don’t fart in public right? This went on through the entire class.
Anyway, to those in my spin class I DID NOT FART. It was one of the girls I swear (I’m not just saying that). To the girl it was bravo, you went undetected and I was not able to “sniff you out” but please lay off the Taco Bell on Wednesday nights. Thank you.
The front rows face each other with an aisle in the middle. It’s tough to be face to face with someone for an hour too. I guess I need to choose the lesser of the two evil’s, ass or face??? Depends on the day I guess.
In the late 1980s I raced as a Cat 4 and then 3 at Major Taylor velodrome in Indianapolis. One year there a relatively giant guy who raced regularly as well. He was probably about 6’6 or so and had to weigh almost 300 pounds. He seemed to push a bigger gear and had good top end speed but had no “jump”.
Drafting behind him was like riding behind a truck - a truck you could sprint around. BUT, I do not think he ever washed his skinsuit (or worse) because he stunk. So, drafting behind him was actually like drafting behind a garbage truck.
How are things at the Velodrome? Still a hotbed? I remember seeing Nelson there when he was gaining mo…neat to see that stuff before everyone knows who they are.
To the OP:
Go to 5 Guys Burgers and Fries and fight back dooode. Respect.
Next time you ride behind her, spin for about 10 minutes, shake your head in disgust and put on the gas mask you have hidden in your gym bag and just keep spinning. The message will be clear.
I really do not know much about it since the 1990s. The guy to ask is Ken Nowakowski who posts on Slowtwtich now and then.
I have fond memories of watching Nelson Vails, Mark Gorski, Kurt Harnet (strong Canadian), Erin Hartwell (raced with him when he first started racing mass start track events), Ekimov’s brother., etc.
I’m in physics and the class is droning on an on. I can feel my stomach rumbling with hunger and gas as I sit there. After what seemed like 5 hours the teacher finished and I bent over to pick up my book bag. Mind you I’m sitting on a plastic chair… The noise that erupted was like a small a-bomb. Long and loud.
My best friend at the time had taken the seat in front of me, he was quicker than I getting up and was standing facing me. Right on que he looked at this tiny little girl in the next row and said, “Damn girl, you’re discusting!” She turned 18 shades of red and we walked out laughing hysterically.
Needless to say the next class she sat as far from us as she could.
BAHAHAHA … I got behind two indian ladies and they must have eaten lots of curry the night before. On the other side there is one indian lady that wears a grapefruit smelling lotion or perfume. Which is at least better then any stinky perfume smel or food smell
Broccoli makes sweet nectar so if you want to make everyone happy stuff 3 cups of that into your dinner the night before. It’s seriously like a helium buzz…natural whippets if you will.
No cheese dude it causes vapors making it nearly impossible to see the spin instructor. If your spin room has a positive air pressure system cheese is okay though. Bring TP and change of underwear in any event if you are a Broccoli-rookie.
My class is at 5:15 in the morning because during the week, it’s the best time for my schedule to fit everything else in. I can run and swim in the dark, hard to ride around here in the dark. The weekends are long rides outside and farting is not only acceptable but encouraged and does not bother me.
Dude, that was awesome! I would have done teh exact same thing.
It reminds me of my middle school life. I was in chorus and I would purposely fart hard on the wooden chairs that are arranged like a movie theater. I got everyones attention and tried to force a big one out and felt something squeak out with it. I ran to the b-room, and I COULD NOT FIND IT. It disappeared.
