I was the motorcyclist who escorted James L and the other two leaders around the 100 mile course. Here he is climbing up Village Park Dr. SW, easily the nastiest climb on the course. Luckily he has the devil to cheer him on!

I have a few other photos from the event on my website: http://dvandkq.net/Motorrad.htm

It was a great event to moto-marshal, and my team and I are looking forward to helping out with next year’s event!

Livestrong put on a world class event and Team Fatty represented!

Awesome ride, people and fun. Perfect way to spend father’s day.

My only regret is not getting a Team Fatty jersey in time, but the Livestrong jersey I earned for fundraising was a close second.

It’s hard to believe that I carried a camera and iphone all day and ended up with this few photos, but here they are: http://picasaweb.google.com/mcgarty/20090621LivestrongChallenge#

WIN!

Wow! That looks awesome!

First posting to FC. I followed some links here from the Livestrong community. I’m a sporadic bike commuter, who, in a moment of insanity, signed up for the San Jose 50 mile. I could really use some advice/handholding/talking down from the ledge at this point. I’ve been working hard on training runs (luckily, I’m in SJ, so I can practice on the course itself), but I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve never biked this far, or in an event. Help!

Here’s a photo collage I made for Susan:

From Kris, a fellow breast cancer survivor and proud Team Fatty member. Bring it on, cancer.

WIN SUSAN!

Kamala: dire, dreadful, awful, ghastly, horrid

Te , ajaksi esikuva , olla haukkumanimi “Läskinen”. Epäkelpo vaihtoehto.

Voitto Susan!

Kamala: remember, it could be worse. You could, for example, be nicknamed “Fatty.”

Kamala: “terrible” and various synonyms. Sorry. http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=fi|en&q=kamala&hl=en

I told the devil to ‘get thee hence’ but, alas, Biblical humor did not go over well. So, instead, a nice hand slap sent us on our way.

I, too, was amazed at the friendliness of all of the volunteers. It was a great ride and very well supported.

So what do I need to do to find out what my name means in Finnish? I already know I’m the Ugandan Giant and have quite a way around the bedroom in Siddartha!
