Picture this- being at the top of Pikes Peak, or at 11,600 feet in the Rockies on your mountain bike, or traversing the Grand Canyon from one side to the other in one day. Experiences that brought me joy, happiness, a sense of accomplishment...and FUN! Experience all you can...from all angles.  I guarantee it will enrich your life!

Now I'm to fat also. May take up the bicycle. It would be nice to always have a breeze on a hot day, and a water bottle within arms reach. Two things I didn't always have running. Keep up the great job! Thomas I used to run. Now I’m to fat also. May take up the bicycle. It would be nice to always have a breeze on a hot day, and a water bottle within arms reach.

Yes, I remember that day well. I can remember specifically asking Dug and you what the odd odor was. You told me you were beta testing Assos products again. I was too tired to seek clarity and Dug was rolling off the front. Those who say that bird poop is odorless have bad noses. I’m starting to realize why you had a large swarm of bumble bees on your bonnet one day at Frank’s meadow. Bird poop not only stinks, it’s also a bee magnet.   Stack or no stack, you beat us to the top. If I weren’t so worried about Dug turning and going home, I would have tried harder to run you down. Thanks, Dug. No really, thanks. Bobby, you must have been of fire that day. I didn’t even realize you were on that ride. Yes. Yes, I remember that day well.

And I bet you were the only one thinking that you got it for last place.   And as Caloi rider said you didn't have to dope up or eat bird poop like Fatty did.   B21 Erien, i think you absolutely earned 2nd place and you should show your trophy with pride!

Just enter the race in a category with no one else in it--citizen/beginner/left-footed/green-eyed senior class. I like it. I think it was clever of you. After all, the alternative is taking cheap doping medications from Dr Michael Lammler (a close friend of Michele Ferari's) like Fatty did. That’s the key, huh, Erien?
