I'm so glad so many other people think it's a good idea, too. Definitely the Fandango 29'er, but you should test ride the Ventana El Conquistador de Montanas. Congratulations to both Elden and Lisa on new PRs at Leadville. I think the pictures of your faces with the post ride grime are among your best photos ever!

You've traditionally been either low 9's or 10's. Toss out your lowest (8:18) and highest (11:27) as outliers and you've more or less oscillated between the extremes. You could probably could look at that table and map each result directly to a "good" day or "bad" day with a high degree of certainty. Regardless - excellent work, like everyone else here I'm thrilled out of my mind for you. Keep up whatever you're doing - it's clearly working.

Congrats to you & Hammer girl :-) Question: how can a bugaboo also be a hobgoblin? Different genus, surely? Suggestion for next year: Superfly 100, prove that it wasn't just the bike this time. 2013: Fattyfly! (if you still have that bike). Awesome story as always, Fatty! Congrats to you & Hammer girl :-)

My wife and I have been enjoying a Co-Motion road tandem for a few years now. It's the great equalizer, there's no way you can't ride together at the same pace! You two will probably have to arm wrestle or something to determine the captain/stoker arrangement, though. I vote for the tandem.
