Just a month or two ago you were eating mashed potatos loaded with cream and butter and at halloween you were scarfing out on all of your favorite candies. You regularly make note of your passion for baked goods and sweet reeses of all varieties. You even once did a comparison of the various types of reeses, and rated them based on very strick criteria. I'd say based on what you tell us that you probably eat very healthy only about 6 months out of the year, maybe less, since once you lose weight and start riding a lot when the weather gets better, then you eat whatever you want. Am I right? or am I right? Sorry dude, but I would tell any good friend the same thing. Just trying to support you. Hopefully, with the medication you can still enjoy the things you love to eat from time to time. Frank Fatty, do you really maintain a low-fat high fiber diet?

But this really is a flat route, I am surprised anyone gives consideration to any of the rises on it. Personally I don't feel like I have climbed unless I have summited Mt Hood in the snow, at least.

It sounds really great. I have read about others doing that ride and hear it's wonderful. Fatty - how sweet of you to post Puddin's site. He's a good guy. I have been reading his blog for a while too. I wish I could do that ride! It sounds really great. I have read about others doing that ride and hear it’s wonderful.

I'm still riding the same bike, though I've replaced the saddle and handlebars with less comfortable ones since then. I'm kinda dumb that way. Anyway, I took it in for a tune-up a couple years ago and the mechanic said, "Hey that looks just like the rig I rode in the STP a few years ago!" Small world. You youngsters have fun!
