Badge of pride
The top 100 returning Leadville riders get a red, white and blue
wristband, allowing us into a special starting area at the front of
the line. So I’m showing this off at every available opportunity.
Too bad I’m too fat and slow this year to put this to good use!

We’re proud of you, regardless.
(I was never big on the Low-Adipose Cyclist thing, anyway.)
Ride hard, have fun!

There were only five original colonies? Who knew

So does this mean you’ll get to line up with Lance? I must say I’m enjoying the frequent posting. iPhones rock!
Enjoy it, Fatty!

You’re up on false advertising, buddy. Either gain some weight or change the title.
And take it easy on the way down–that’s no way to treat a separated collar-bone.

Way to go. Take a pic of lance as he passes you.
Kidding. Good luck man.

Good luck tomorrow! Just watch out for the rain. My wife and I will be watching and cheering you on. I told her that we were going to watch a celebrity. She might think it is Lance but of course, you are an award winning blogger so you are the much bigger celebrity.
When you are the front at the starting line, you will see lots of people taking pics. That’s b/c it’s all about you! Soon, you can charge $$$ for pics of you.
So, are you putting a basket, tassels and a bell on your Waltworks? OK, I’m done being a smart***.

Love that comment. How many stars are on that band, perhaps there is something else we didn’t know.

More fat means more fuel.
Best of luck!

Anybody who shows up to ride that crazy event in the injured condition you are in, deserves a Top 100 wristband. Top 10 even. heck… Top Tippity Top! People say I’m nuts, but you? You’re nuts! Venga Fatty!

Go Fatty!
Earn a “I had the most fun” wristband. Fun is what really matters. . .
Have fun and be as gentle as you can with that shoulder.
WIN Susan!

Go fast and have fun. Brats are at the finish line, I hear…

Hey, where’s all the typos you warned us about?
Have you had one of those Microsoft “ABC-tick” thingamajigs installed in your texting thumb?

Fatty,
Sastre had the ride of his life to defend yellow in the final time trial. Perhaps you will have the ride of your life to defend “The Band”. Of course, you aren’t doping….I’m not saying, I’m just saying…
