Fatty will decide he wants one to ride to the mailbox and then we will have a post showing off the new Specialized or Ibis Unirider mail getter with Dura Ace wheels and made out of new nano carbon fiber material.

The vicarious pleasure I derive from your posts is tweaking my sense of I gotta do something too. I have been riding the exer-bikes in the gym at work and see the effect on my conditioning. Must, make, the, time (think Capt Kirk). BTW - it worries me that your incoherent rambling in the Breck interview seemed rather normal to me, hmmmmmmm? Way to go!

I laughed out loud when I read that. Then my next thought was, holy crap, Fatty does math like me! Loved the wrap-up of Leadville and can't wait for the Breck Epic reports! Congrats to you on your victory! Congrats to Kenny, the Hammer, the IT Guy and Heather!!! So awesome!! You are all so inspiring! Please oh please oh please Hammer please write about your experience. I know you think you aren't funny like Fatty, but it doesn't matter. I love getting your perspective - I don't want you to be like Fatty, I want you to be you. Having met you, I will be able to hear you reading it in my head. So please, please, please? :) “Which means you probably shouldn’t hire me to do your taxes.”

In reality, I probably ran three steps, and then walked the rest. But I was thinking fast thoughts while I marched."
