Comments on: Canceled http://www.fatcyclist.com/2011/12/05/canceled/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV.

Hey, thanks so much for adding more books. I missed out on the first order and was very disappointed (in myself), but now am once again a happy individual.

I totally forgot about that! I absolutely love it, although I've only done it a few times in NM. Unfortunately, it's been years since I've lived close to where it snows enough to justify purchasing the kit but who knows what the future holds??! Thanks for stoking some recessed memories of a lot of fun. Clydesteve, XC skiing!! I totally forgot about that! I absolutely love it, although I’ve only done it a few times in NM.

I've camped several times in the Mojave, and the wind is one of it's signature features. Along with the most amazing vistas, and stark landscapes one could imagine. And to think animals from lizards and tortoises to Big Horn Sheep call it home. Glad to know you had a chance to experience it, but believe me, sleeping outside under the stars beats any planetarium adventure. @MattC I'm thinking of getting my hands on a beer truck to bring to Davis. We'll see how anti running you really are.....(HAH!) And, @Comment by Mark in Ottawa | 12.5.2011 | 1:16 pm an alternate, sheltered route is rather hard to find in 'the valley'.

I was at the race too. Well "race", glad you made the best of the situation. I'm still confused about everything that happened. Hey, just saw this. I was at the race too.

It was fun meeting you in person. I thought they could have still held it too. My friend Josh and some of the other runners ran from the other end of the canyon and did a full 26.2 going from 200 elev to 5000 and back. I chose an easier route! Thanks for the mention!

It is most definitely more like riding a bike as you can get going pretty fast especially when the temps and trails cooperate. We lost a lot of our snow (had 40-50+ temps for a couple days in Alaska) and then it froze again so now the trails are a complete mess. @Clydesteve I completely forgot about how much fun skiing is, especially skate skiing.

We're glad we could accommodate you, even though you missed a fantastic meal with Astrid and Jack ;-) Hey…glad to see it happened regardless of the cancellation (using Fatty and Hammer rules…).

It is WAY more like cycling than running is. @KM – and you can totally skip running altogether by using XC skis when it is snowy & quiet out. It is WAY more like cycling than running is.
