The Twitter Dream Ride

Last night I dreamed I rode with Lance. He had tweeted a ride in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for 2 pm on October 29, 2010 and I was the only person to show up. Seems noone else in Sioux Falls has heard about Twitter nor the fact that Lance routinely tweets rides in various locations around the world.

Upon seeing me Lance shrugged and said "Let's ride," and off we went touring side-by-side around Sioux Falls following the bike path past the historic Big Sioux River Falls and other scenic venues. Lance maintained a chatter that matched his cadence as I struggled to evince an occassional "yup" while gasping for air in the cool late fall temperatures.

Lance wanted to know about riding in South Dakota and I explained that my home town of Pierre has the Best Dam Loop Ride in the State and that the Black Hills has the absolute best riding in the state and maybe even the country. Intrigued, Lance checked his schedule and the weather forecast and immediately tweeted "We are riding South Dakota tomorrow, see you in Pierre at 2pm!"

Then, like all dreams that are too good to be true, I woke up...(may be continued)...
