That coat was in fact the subject of several tweets a few months ago…see what I mean…the guy is going to need a finger transplant if he does not slow down on the tweets.

Wow, Jenni Laurita, you had a tough time leading up to this event. Great blog, by the way– you’re a great writer. I’m so glad that everything came back normal from the tests, I’m sure it made your ride in Austin even better!! Great pics, too.

Forgot to mention the finish at the ride: THE fatty was waiting for all of us to cross the line, even tho he had finished hours before us. There he was all fresh and relaxed offering thanks and congrats to us stinky stragglers that had hauled our fatty asses 90 miles in headwinds with no boys to pull (we are girls that expect the boys to pull :)).

No Fatty, we thank you and congratulate you on a job well done. The mission has only just begun and we were so proud to be a part of it.

Please come to Seattle next year. We will be waiting.

Mary in NC- I have ridden in three of the four cities now and Austin is the first one I’d go back to. There’s nothing like it- miles and miles of riding, no lights, and almost no car traffic at all.
Logistically, the start of the ride being 25 miles from the hotels was not ideal so San Jose, I’m listening…

I find myself somewhat distracted from your blog by the sight of various young men who have transformed themselves from wobbling tubs of lard to living diagrams of human musculature. As this transformation is said to only take two weeks I thought I might essay it and surprise Her Ladyship one evening. I assume that this process has your full backing and endorsement (although why you haven’t chosen to do it yourself is something of a puzzle)?

Loved your speech. I hope Jen doesn’t shoot me but I am thinking of rotating which ride I do from year to year. Philly will always be my “first” but San Jose and Seattle seem do able. I think I’d save Austin for last.

It was so awesome to get to meet you momentarily at Mellow Johnny’s, sorry if I came off as a bit weird. Unfortunately, that happens when you’re actually weird. It’s hard to fake.

I’m still remembering the different and fun things that Austin provided. Got in on Friday, got settled in, met some friends on Saturday and dashed off to the Cedar Door.

As part of Surlyrider’s crew, I think that I might be out on a limb here and start to make plans for 3 cities. Philly and Austin are in, have to figure out which is going to be the one to go to.
