It’s hard to be from Arkansas without knowing few things by heart you’d rather not know. Like the lyrics to “I Got Friends in Low Places” or “Achey Brakey heart”. Or about a millllllion Jeff “You might be a Redneck” Foxworthy Jokes. You know the jokes. They all pretty much sound like “if the directions to get to your house include turn off the paved road…You might be a redneck.”
Well, tonight as I was digging out the grease and grime from my rear cassette, getting ready for the Tour of Elk Grove Crit tomorrow, I kept thinking about how I was a pretty typical cyclist, but a somewhat atypical girl. And, thanks to Mr. Foxworthy, my self-reflection (and I love me some me so I’m REALLY good at self reflection) came out sounding like those jokes.
SO in honor of the REALLY SUPER FUN Spidermonkey Girl’s Ride, and girls/women/ladies who ride bike wherever, I give you Lil V’s selection of You might belong on the Spidermonkey Girl’s Ride Jokes:
