Limestone.Fog on the rolling hills.We out here grinding.And yo... where’s Joey?There he is.Yo, welcome to the Mid-Atlantic, humidity thickWhere the gravel climbs up and it makes you feel sickWe got potholes in PA deep enough to hide a bodyRiding B-roads in Virginia, feeling loose, feeling rowdy.It’s that chunky limestone, cutting sidewalls on the dailyDescend at forty-five, praying that the brakes don’t fail me.Through the Amish country, dodging buggies and the horse applesSunday morning worship, this dirt road is my chapel.Got dust in my teeth, got mud on the shinsElevation gain spiking where the mountain begins.But look to the left, emerging from the tree lineIt’s a silhouette, a shadow, riding straight through the slime.It’s the gravel grind, yeah we leave it all behindChasing endless yellow lines through the state of mind.Pedal stroke heavy, heart beating like a spikeAnd here comes Joey, on a different damn bike.Yeah, here comes Joey, eating trash on the hike.Let me tell you ‘bout Joey, the man is a glitchHe’s got "New Bike Syndrome," yeah, a frantic itch.Last Tuesday on the group ride? He was riding a TrekCarbon fiber, aero bars, stiffness up to the neck.Wednesday? He showed up on a vintage steel frameDown tube shifters, eighty-five was the game.Today? I swear to god, he’s on a titanium rigWith monster cross tires looking heavy and big.Next week it’s a single-speed, gearing ratio mashThen a recumbent? Nah, he wouldn’t be that brash.N+1 is the formula, his garage is a mazeHe swaps frames like a playlist, just a blur and a daze."Yo Joey, is that 650b?"He just nods and shifts gears, flying past the debris.We hit the aid station, or the local Wawa stopI’m grabbing energy bars, electrolytes, and pop.But Joey’s round the back, by the dumpster diving deepSearching for the calories that other people sleep.He pulls out a half-eaten burger from the binWipes off a little coffee grounds, and gives me a grin."It’s just carbs, bro," he says, taking a massive biteWashing it down with a soda that’s been sitting all night.He’s a raccoon in Lycra, a possum on wheelsFueling PRs on banana peels and Happy Meals.I saw him eat a gummy bear found on the roadThen drop five hundred watts and explode up the node.Iron stomach, iron legs, alloy rimsEating garbage like a king while the daylight dims.It’s the gravel grind, yeah we leave it all behindChasing endless yellow lines through the state of mind.Pedal stroke heavy, heart beating like a spikeAnd here comes Joey, on a different damn bike.Yeah, here comes Joey, eating trash on the hike.Maryland clay sticking to the downtubeJoey’s chain screaming out for a little bit of lube.He’s riding a unicycle now? No, wait, just a trick of the lightHe’s back on a fat bike, pushing through the night.Whatever he rides, and whatever he eatsThe man is a legend on these gravel streets.Yeah.Pass the hot dog wrapper.Keep spinning.See you at the next junction, Joey.Assuming you didn't buy a new bike mid-ride.Mid-Atlantic Stand Up.Peace.AI by Suno
