<p>To the young woman ahead of me in North Portland last night:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You were riding a white bike with Continental tires. I don't know the bike brand, as I was never able to get close enough to see. You wore an eggshell colored windbreaker, which made your 110 pound body look closer to 125. I wanted to compliment your legs (their lactate threshold, not their shape, although their shape was great, too) but each time I pulled within shouting distance my breath was too ragged to allow for speech.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are out there and are reading this, please come back and play some more. Just give me a day or two to recover first.</p>
