I just think she's just trying to set up a situation where The Hammer would not be smiling (all the time), your personal awesomeness would be truly tested (Leadville-Hah-a ride in the park!) and the post ride blog would be filled with a level of drama rarely seen in Fat Cyclist. You know...I don't want to see that either. I like The Hammer's smile! You know Fatty, I don’t think Wife#1 is being generous.

Be pretty cool to have you two ride it, we would need you to sign the seat "Fatty was here" and on the other one "Where the Hammer came down". LOL. Have to mention, David is not taking your advice, however sage it may be. If I am allowed a brief brag moment, cause I LOVE that he is doing this.... Instead of riding the GF solo as planned, he has just volunteered to captain a tandem for a visually impaired rider who got hit by a speeding van last year and has spent the year doing rehab. He posted yesterday on the LGF Facebook page looking for a partner and David raised his hand right away. The rider is a serious cyclist, but his only training since the accident has been on rollers. I think they are both pretty tall, clydesdale-ish riders to boot, and there will not be much time for practice on the tandem, so it's going to be one heck of a challenge. Awesome! Can you tell I'm uber proud of my man? :-) The other rider does have his own Santana tandem though, so our Livestrong/Fatty one could be yours if you decide to get wild and crazy in Santa Rose. I'll bring the sharpie! ;-) No Problem Fatty… if you change guys change your mind, just holler!

My tongue dragged the ground behind me as I limped into La Grave. Absolutely worth the effort, though. Thanks, Fatty, for putting so many of the wonderful memories of the trip into (coherent) words! I'm looking forward to the rest of the installments.
