“You have to finish your breakfast.”
“I can’t. Diesel Daddy is running out of steam.”
“No, Matti, I can’t see you go out like this!”
~Henry saw me crack before even starting the Gila Monster

“You’re in the gruppetto! Stop attacking the gruppetto. You’ll never get back to the front group.” ~Some random dude with a British accent clearly to me. He clearly doesn’t understand how to get through to a tryhard.

“dub dub dub dub,” ~ Me, as I caught my teammate Sam making Diesel Daddy noises.

“Never again.” ~James, after finishing the Gila Monster.

“You could just ride back with the team instead of Primal.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Everything you’re saying makes a lot of sense. Let me out here.”
~Sam, mentally fried after the Gila Monster

“Jesus, look at your legs right now – your veins are popping. Drink some water, King.”
~Taj to me in Victor’s Burrito shop. If only I were always as lean as the two hours after the Gila Monster when I’m incapable of eating or drinking.

“Where are you?”
“The gas station in Hatch.”
“I’m hungry again.”
“We ate an hour ago.”
“I want another dinner.”
“K. I saw this burrito shop on the side of the road, and it looks like CS Velo is going there.”
“Sick! Meet you there?”
“Nah.”
“Really?”
“Nah, I’m good.”
“…OK.”
~Henry has never been more disappointed I didn’t join him at Pepe’s burrito shack.

“I saw this thing recently, and by that, I mean I saw it on tik tok.”
~Tony, our DS, on the drive from Silver City to ABQ. I love it when people admit they get all their information from Tik Tok.
