floyd vs. the green swarm

floyd, my mountain bike, started the hosilities. he took off like a bat out of an old rusty car and tore up the first mile loop, forcing the green swarm to step up to the plate. after the first mile, however, he showed his true colors. he slowed from a 13.1mph average down to, in the end, a 12.0mph average. all he could do was carry me around each successive loop and provide me with gatorade to drink. so in the pack mule category, floyd's the winner tires down. he wins in the foot protection category too! (5.25 miles @ 12.0mph)
