Travels with my Mule
Posted on May 6th, 2009 2 commentshttp://philipshrimpton.blogspot.com/
I am a balding,overweight, middle aged man whose mid-life crisis is like ‘Groundhog day’. However to compensate for this I like going on adventures with my Mule called ‘Scott’.Scott is not really a Mule and has two wheels.However there are similarities. He is expected to carry the weight of the world, my troubles, expectations and rotund frame without complaint.He is also very stuborn when you try and force him up steep gradients.
I also like to write hence my blog.
I dream of being a two wheeled althlete even if its just in my age catergory.
I love hills and climbing them and cycling at breakneck speed down the other side.
Each year I proclaim - This is my year. It has not happened yet. However don’t rule me and the Mule out for this year.
If Lance Armstrong can make a comeback, I can.
Watch out you veterans I will be chasing your wheel. I try to do a number of endurance charity rides each year including the Houston to Austin MS 150 in April, joining my twin brother who lives in Houston, this year I am also doing the Hotter than Hell again in Texas in August.Whether I cycle fast or faster it will be fun trying and I will attempt to entertain you with my blog along the way.I hope you enjoy it

I like your honesty Phil, take a leaf out of Lances book and keep riding that trusty mule, or if you really do fancy life in the slow lane get a basket on the front. Eitherway I look forward to your ramblings.

I have a friend that does mini triathlons in the clydesdale category. He sounds a lot like you, really enjoys every part of his riding, running and swimming and is pretty good at it. I look forward to getting into your blog and enjoying your experiences riding.
