[RC] Rider doesn't do anything - rides2far

Hitting a baseball comes from hip rotation and timing 
of > your weight shift.


In my school girl days I played softball for 13 years, played baskeball
(stop laughing) and though I didn't get much court time I did all the
workouts, then I used to run 3 miles in the evenings after practice. That
was when I was 17.  Now I'm 46 and do endurance. I am far more muscular
than when I was in team sports. My legs looked normal back then. Now I
get lovely comments like when my daughter's partner working at Curves
commented "Your mom's a beast". >sigh< The kid's in my class shock the
new kids by saying, "Mrs. McGhee, show him your calf!" (and mine's
nothing compared to a *lot* of endurance riders!) What  I really find
flattering is when they say, "Miss Clounch is *hot*. Mrs. McGhee, you
look like you could kick some butt". :-P

After years of not playing softball due to a torn ACL my husband's family
was having a family picnic and they had a softball game. I hadn't batted
in a long time and told them I really couldn't play but they insisted. 
You know how those games are. The women run girly and the men hit it into
the woods so you can't find the ball. I got up to bat and  absolutely
JACKED it. I mean, it went out there where they men had hit it. It was
great. I had never hit one like that back when I played on tournament
teams. Made my reputation with that one swing. I don't think I've batted
since then. So long as I don't, I can keep everyone thinking that's my
norm. >g<

Heck, I know I'm working during a ride because I can wear a light jacket
when my crew is all bundled up. I'm the coldest natured person in the
world but almost never wear more than a t-shirt & sweatshirt jacket
during competition.
