"I go really fast"

OK - 10:30.  I relented.  He drove a hard bargain - demanding the alpine start in exchange letting me shoot him on some new route extensions that he'd promptly down-grade upon clipping the chains.  I even had to throw a futon into the bargain - GQ doesn't happen if you sleep on crashpads.  Girlfriends won't visit either.  It was non-negotiable.

When I got to the parking lot he was already there - sleeping at the wheel.  Obnoxious honking had the intended effect.  He popped awake and out of the wagon.  I pulled out my climbing/camera pack and he asked if the frame would fit with his bike in the back.  He planned to ride down - before posing down - because his knee was busted. The life of a model isn't always glamorous.  I demurred and noticed his sweet bike - I needed to get some shots for FIXE.


Starting down the road into the gorge, I turned and noticed him still hanging out next to the bike.  
Are you coming? 

Yeah - go on ahead though.  
I go really fast.
