Second Ode to our Randonneur (by Aki)
August 21, 2011 at 2:18 pm | Posted in Bicycling, Dave, Justin, PBP, Poetry, Uncategorized | Leave a commentWhile most of us would rather rest
Than ride a bike from Paris to Brest,
You freakishly thought it’d be nice
To do that trek not once but twice.
And though we can’t be there to cheer
Please tune in with your inner ear
Because we’re reaching for our skills
To help you when you hit big hills.
We’re writing verse, consulting maps,
And cousin Dave is riding laps.
(Truth is, we’re acting sort of oddly
But it will make you look more godly
When people see the things you do
Backed by this crazy psychic crew.)
The count down’s on, you ride today,
And so I wrote this note to say –
We hope this ride is even better,
With no flat tires or stormy weather.
And when the road curves upward steeply
Please know that though we’re sleeping deeply
We still send love and when we wake
We’ll cheer and cheer ‘til our lungs ache.
We’ll do that daily ‘til you’re home
So you will never ride alone.
And as you load with carbs and wine
And check your bike for one last time
Remember that your crew’s behind you
Riding laps and finding rhymes to
Inspire you on this crazy ride
So if you’re tired, just look inside.
We’re there to help you when you’re stuck–
We love you…bon courage! Good luck.
