Don’t forget the Nebo Climb up Payson Canyon. I rode up to the lakes monday. Snow is still on the top. If you want to climb it one morning up to the snow line at 9000ft let me know. We need to ride the loop again this summer. Maybe I will spring for a coke float instead of a cliffbar this time at the Wendys.

I am glad that I am not the only person in the world who is kept awake at night thinking about bike components. I think bike parts have cost me more sleep than my kids…

How did you get on Fatty?

Fatty,

I’m heading home to Victoria next week (8 hour drive) to visit the parents. High on the list of things to do is my age old yard stick – Beechworth to Stanley – I’ve been riding that one for atleast 14 years.

Difference is this time I am 10kg (22lbs) lighter than last time (4 months ago). I’m looking forward to the ride.

Cheers

Andrew

brokeMBA, and all you other Utahans – I hope you all appreciate the fact that your back yard is a place where east-coast people like me pay lots of money to go for vacation! The pictures are beautiful – and I’ve been there so I know they just barely begin to do justice to the beauty you call home.

I am a better rider because I made it faster? A dot in your life. I am not a better fisherman because I caught the most. I am a better fisherman because I gave a kid and his dad a better way to fish what was biting that day. There are yardsticks that most of us need to base our lives on and his name is Fatty.

[...] has pointed out the local yardsticks—as he calls them—The Alpine Loop, Suncrest, Squaw Peak… And they are all on their own [...]

My yardstick must be more like a yardtwig
Started riding in Jan
Did my first metric century Saturday
Ride name “Flat as a Pancake”
My friend the RocketBiker rode with me the whole way
I had no idea he could bike so slowly
I was pleased with myself but it’s a long way from the terra shown in that video
Next step for me faster, then full century

PS no fat cyclist jerseys at T6 waaah

Fatty brilliant you are still aiming for the Sub 9 – good to know the more things change the more they stay the same. Best of luck.

I prefer doing race for which I have no precedent. I can set my goals low and be satisfied when I exceed them.

Good luck with the sub-9, Fatty. I really thought you had a sub-9 in you last year. Heck, maybe you still do.
