Here's an idea: A Fatty campfire at some event. Fatty, Dug, Moishe, and the others to come telling a bike story, washing down a beer soaked brat, and enjoying what is truly an impressive TEAM of people. Now, where will this happen? Thank you Moishe for the story, will we see you in Davis? So after this week of excellent stories what will Fatty think of next? Here’s an idea: A Fatty campfire at some event.

I'll need to check out your website for more. I remember my century before I knew it was called a century. A friend & I drew a circle on the state map, circle went through a town named Prospect, thus theme "Prospect or Bust" 50 miles out then return the next day.Year 1962,7th grade, Schwinn coaster with camping gear onboard, sunburn. Seems like last year and they weren't even "Breaking Away" yet. Great story, Moishe. I’ll need to check out your website for more. I remember my century before I knew it was called a century.

I had no response. except to start training for the next RAGBRAI (stationary bike every morning before work all winter). I have yet to complete an entire RAGBRAI, but last year I did log 4052 miles on the Trek. since 2004 I have logged over 16,500. it keeps me fit and sane. all thanx to a stray question. thank you for sharing your wonderful, familiar story, Moishe! isn’t it remarkable how a stray question can create destiny. my history is very similar, except that I was/is a bluestocking. my nose was always in a book and I avoid Phy Ed class with a passion. hated doing anything outside or physical. the age of 42 found me sitting at the lunch table, entertaining my coworkers with tales of the teams at RAGBRAI (the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa). someone turned and asked “why don’t you do it”.
