Rival Of Lance Armstrong -written originally in 1998-

Down the trails I ride
speeding all the way.
Narrowly missing trees,
my wheels throwin' mud.
Hill after hill Im goin' airborne.
I blaze through the brush
chasing birds and squirrels.
Clicking to higher gears,
I continue acceleration till
I reach the trail's end and loop
around to do it all over again.
Returning back to start
got ferns in the derailor
and mud caked on the bike and
I continue to ride
grinding the mud and ferns in the
sprockets and chain.
In my deralior I collect more.
I ride till my legs get sore
maximum riding hours are four
then I want more.
Hours of fun never end but
sadly the trails do.
Stopping only to re-tie my boots Im
off again exposing another tree's roots.

Glad you liked this one. That time of year is nearing again. I'll be in the halls of my green palace riding all the way.

I rarely watch Tour de France or any other things related to sports. Ive just always felt I would love to challenge Lance Armstrong. Seems like it might be a fair match.
