[...] But then I considered: on a bike, do I race if a friend is in the race? Of course I do. And if I beat that friend, is our friendship damaged? Of course not, unless I really rub it in and blog about it and perhaps have a T-shirt made saying “I Kicked Dug’s Butt in Our 1:1 Challenge.” [...]

Favorite uphill songs “The Memory Remains”- Metallica big gear grinder for hills!!!…until I blow up. For spinning up a hill “Beautiful Day”- U2 or “Red Barchetta”- Rush I like any Rush song for spinning up hills or motoring on flats/singletrack

Favorite downhill songs “Prisoner of Society”- The Living End, although I wreck a lot when I listen to this or “Stars”- Switchfoot..it’s long enough for almost any downhill and flows well

Best Sprinting/intervals song “Speed Girl”- Electric Frankenstein or “Pretender”- Foo Fighters

Does Jeff Wayne’s war of the Worlds equal one song? If so I’m quick. Dr Codfish not sure if anyone answered your question regards the length of the race. Did you mean in miles, kilometres or songs?

I mean to cast no dispersions on the fitness level of either of you, but I suspect that the results of this race could be altered by about two weeks of training.

I think it was more of a, “when we’re both in bad shape, who’s slower” kind of answer, rather than “whose fastest”.

Marrock! You beat me to it. “More Human Than Human” by Rob Zombie is the best all-time downhill song. For those tough climbs, I prefer Limp Bizkit’s “Keep Rollin”. Another good for downhill is Blood for Blood – “Anywhere But Here”. BTW, Fatty, I removed “Hurt” from my iPod Shuffle for that exact reason. Love the song, but I would be in a great groove, and that song would come on and completely deflate me.

Fav for climbs – Drive by REM

Chasing back after getting dropped on the same climb – Linger Fickin’ Good by the Revolting Cocks. An infectious bass line sure to make you dance on the pedals, as PL would say. Other good riding tunes – Nobody’s Fault But Mine-Led Zeppelin, Satellite Radio-Steve Earl. What It Is Kid and Crunchy-ZZ Top, Third Uncle-Bauhas, just to name a few.

Fun post today, Fatty. You never fail to amaze in your varity and quality.

You’ll be fine at Alpine (no rhyming intended). Just be sure to swap the 81″ for a mid 60. Remember, your knees aren’t as young as they used to be.
