Nashville Bicycle Lounge has regular contests where an obscure photo is taken of a place in Nashville and the first person to submit a photo, with their bicycle at the place, wins a prize. Yesterday, a limited edition Brooks B17 was being offered. They hinted about the latest content yesterday so I watched their Facebook page throughout the afternoon until they said the photo would go up at 7pm.
I was eating dinner when the photo was posted. I looked out the window and knew exactly where it was. I heehawed around for a 10 minutes as Beth told me to go. Do I bike there? Should I throw it in my car and go? (That would be lame!) I just ate sausage and eggs. How is that going to feel fresh in my belly?
I finally threw on a hoodie, slipped on slip-on shoes. and peddled like a badass for Snodgrass tower’s plaza. It was tough getting up the hill it sits on after dinner and riding home a hour before. I got to the top and saw no one around.
Later I read that it was a tough place to locate for a handful of Facebook commenters. I thought I had it in the bag but I got an email back this morning that said I earned second place by less than 10 minutes. I was really hoping to show off my new, green seat Saturday at the Tour de Nash.
