The Nooner
Do you ever find yourself with your "loved one" after a mid-day meeting and realize that no-one is expecting you back at the office for another hour or so? Just enough time to get all hot and sweaty.
That happened to me just the other day. I was leaving a job site shortly after noon, car on roof, when I realized that I'd be driving within a mile of a trail that I almost never ride on because it is too short to be a considered "real" ride. With only being able to ride for an hour at most (without double looping) it usually isn't on the itenerary. When you have less than an hour to ride, though, it is just the thing. Sure, I didn't have my heart rate monitor with me or any water but the whole point of a nooner is to get in and out as quickly as possible and numbers and minutes be damned. Right? So a hasty plan was hatched. Park, do the naked shimmy in the parking lot, bust out a quick lap, quick change again and get back to the office with no-one the wiser.
45 minutes later and I'm hot, sweaty and satisfied.

My version of a "nooner" is only a couple of minutes!

Wow, I wish nobody would miss me for an hour at lunch time. I'm usually lucky if I get a quick meal at the desk in front of the computer ... :-(

to be honest, I don't usually get a lunch because I'm so stacked up with work but occasionally I do find the opportunity to sneak out.
