Peddling Vs. Pedaling.... [Sigh]

I didn't ride the bike this morning.... hoping to do a long noon ride down the Paseo frontage trail and then down the Bosque Trail for a few miles and back.
Howsomever, I received an email advertisement this morning about the upcoming Santa Fe Century Bike Ride:

Help Animals by Participating
in the Santa Fe Century Bike Ride!

On Sunday, May 15th, bicyclists will take to the highway in the Santa Fe Century ride, a 100 mile bicycle ride now in its 26th year. This year the ride offers an opportunity for helping animals.  Animal Protection of New Mexico’s “Team Teddy” will be peddling their hearts out, hoping to raise money through pledges from supporters. Energetic cyclists can also join the team!

Peddling their hearts out, eh?  Mercy, how gruesome.  I sent them a nastygram:

"Sorry to be bothersome, but it is irksome to see the phrase “Peddling their hearts out” in the advertisement for the upcoming Santa Fe Century bicycle ride.

I fully realize spelling is a fading art and improper word-swapping is never going to go away, but really.

If read literally, this seems to imply that cyclists, instead of pedaling their bicycles furiously, will instead be standing by the wayside offering their hearts for sale alongside other peddlers selling garden produce, used clothing, and other stuff more normally offered by peddlers.

Meanwhile, some few other bicyclists will be PEDALING their bicycles while riding the Santa Fe Century…."

I went for a short noon ride just before noon.  I thought the wind was minimal (DING:  WRONG) and had planned to ride west out to the Bosque Trail for at least a few miles but I found, as soon as I got out of our parking lot and away from the wind-blocking buildings, that the head wind was pretty nasty.... and uncomfortably cool. 
 At about the 2 mile point there was a rest bench behind a business that blocked the wind quite well so I stopped, turned the bike around, parked it on the tri-stand, and ate my prefabricated ham 'n cheese 'n jalapeno sandwich. 

Then I saddled up and  came back to work early.
