In my time, I've cycled on pretty much every holiday you can think of, including ones I never celebrated. For that matter, I've probably cycled on holidays without even knowing it.
I'd guess that, in most years, I've ridden on Cinco de Mayo, whether it was a weekend day ride or simply a commute to work, as I did today. But I never did a ride like this:
I suppose that's about as appropriate a ride as any for this fete. This ride was scheduled for today in--where else?--Texas. It was in Austin, to be precise. If I'm not mistaken, that's Lance Armstrong's hometown.
I wonder whether he ever did a ride like that. BMX is one of the few kinds of riding I've never done, mainly because I was a bit old for it by the time it came along. That, and bicycle polo. But who'd play a game of bicycle polo on Cinco de Mayo? I would, just because "bicycle polo on Cinco de Mayo" has a nice ring to it, verdad? (I couldn't type an upside-down question mark before "verdad.")
Anyway...Did you do a ride to commemorate this day? Or did you just do a ride and eat Mexican food afterward? Actually, that's what I did. And I washed it down with a "virgin" margarita. That's how I reward myself for doing something I enjoy. Es una buena vida, verdad?
