“I have said 99% of the swear words I have ever uttered during the final 25 miles of big rides.” – As have I, but mainly because the number of them that come out at that point is so massive that it throws all previous totals out the window.

I can sympathize with any discomfort you may have had. I flew to LA for my first triathlon (sprint) in 2 years. Short version – I was 254 of 256, and 256 was my older brother being nice to me…

Fatty, I’m a woman and can’t hold up a conversation for more than about 45 minutes– especially if it’s with people who are stupid, uninformed, wrong (as in, I respect your opinion but you’re wrong) or if I have to keep coming up with topics because the silence has gotten uncomfortable.

I would rather ride in silence than be forced to have conversations with people. That way, I don’t have to diguise the huffing and puffing that would give away that I’m out of shape.

Hey, I’ve got a good excuse right now: I’ve got a sinus infection and a very sore throat. You can’t expect me to keep riding through this, can you? :)

Fatty – AHEM – I am a woman and can’t hold up a conversation for more than an hour. So what does that say?

Have a great time riding!

â€œIâ€™ve learned that when someone wants to suffer alone, itâ€™s best to let them. Because that way if they die, you get their stuff.â€

I think that has got to go on the next Fat Cyclist T shirt!

Duh, ride the superfly, is’nt that what it’s for. 100 miles or 150 k is a long way on a ss.

Me, I would have been there but I WAS NOT INVITED.

Take the camera, I can ride vicariously. When I ride with the kids next week [club ages 10-15] I can regail them with tales from Fatty.

Have fun, ride on

“I predict the wind will be a problem” I was down there last weekend and the the wind was really pretty calm for the first part of the day and then it picked up in the afternoon to a bit more than breezy. It only broke 2 of the 4 poles on our tent, so it wasn’t too bad. I had never seen a tent lie flat with the poles in it before.

So that means that your tailwind will be just more than non-existant and your headwind will be enough to blow you backwards. Switch directions!
