Hot (for UK, anyway !) and windy. We had three firsts in our trio: first lady in Preston (U40), first man in Preston (U40), and me as first man in Preston (U41). Also the first centuries by each of us, so all chuffed with the day. Looking forward to the interesting stories (ours was turn up, ride, collapse - not much else happened, really, apart from a few pedestrians trying to jump under our wheels from the bushes around the track). Hopefully a little extra money coming to you from sponsors, Fatty .... :o) Well, we did it. Hot (for UK, anyway !) and windy.

My Garmin GPS looks like a etch a sketch on acid. 4810' total ascent (13' per lap). I thought it would get boring, but I was gee=tting a lot of good right turn practice. When I firts started I was having some severe crit racing flashbacks (not the good kind). Had a few of the neighbors join me for a few laps, that part was aweome! Thanks Fatty for the inspiration, I'm even thinking about doing it again with friends later in the year. Done! 371 laps around the block in front of my house.

I have asked her to do the race report and I will send it to you ASAP! hey we just finished the South African leg of the 100miles of nowhere. we did it with a 14yr old girl who wanted to raise money for a local Childrens cancer charity. she blew us all away, with 18km (sorry we do that other measurement thingie) of the 160km to go, she was shattered but turned to her mom and said “quitting is not an option” AMAZING.

I would certainly come just to taste your cookies, and Fatty's Sausage.(Wait that doesn't sound right). Imagine Fatty's Alpine Loop on Johannes' African Bikes, now that would take some awesome quads, and who has those. Yannb-Yes it is a miserable day here in sunny(?) California, and you hit it spot on about the battle that is cancer. Good luck to your team, maybe next year, if you need another rider... Good Luck everyone..Go Nowhere, Have Fun, and remember to wave from the podium. MattC- I agree with you on a FattyFest in Utah!

we had sun, we had rain, we had gourmet pizza that I had to grill when the power went out. we never got to ride together since we alternated watching our daughter while we lapped around our neighborhood, but we still bonded over the mind numbing misery of a very short (<1mi) non-flat course.

and we had FUN!
