I finished the read when I returned from my camping trip. Fatty, I take back all of my whining about the race report's length. It was worth every bit! So happy for Team Fatty and their successful defense and ThreePeat! (Sorry Phil Jackson - in case you really do have a copyright on that expression.) Also, and most hugely, chapeau to your team for taking on an 'extra rider' leading up to the last leg and to the excellent teamwork between you all. If I were Kenny, I'm not sure I'd have agreed to pull someone up a big mountain and expect to get it back on the downside. 60 mph!?! Wow!!! Wow!!!

Would love to attempt the Relay next year. Of course, I'd have to start training immediately :) @Davidh – Not 60 yet, but closing in (57 next year). Would love to attempt the Relay next year.

If you find team PieSTRONG in need of a member, while I'm not near 60, I do have up to date insurance. @ Davidh & Clydesteve

So, apparently I’m not old enough for Team PieSTRONG, and I’m probably not fast enough either, but after reading the amazing epic of Fatty’s 2013 Rockwell Relay, I have not stopped thinking about what a life-changing experience this race would be.

If you find team PieSTRONG in need of a member, while I’m not near 60, I do have up to date insurance.

Fatty I would PAY toward your blog each month if you would enable comment self-editing! And think how many fewer comments you'd have from David. :-) T-shirt I want from TwinSix should read" “I may be old but at least I’m slow”. As you were. HAPPY 4TH FATTIES! sigh… Fatty I would PAY toward your blog each month if you would enable comment self-editing! And think how many fewer comments you’d have from David. :-)

T-shirt I want from TwinSix should read” “I may be old but at least I’m slow”.

As you were. HAPPY 4TH FATTIES!

What a great story this has been, you cliff hanging maniac. I have noted that your enthusiam for the event is infectious and I see my husband is now hooked on trying to put together Rockwell Relay team for next year. If they do this, TwinSix will need to make them the t-shirts I want for myself: "I may be old but at I'm slow". Pssst... I like the team name PieStrong also. That said, I'll be at home with the kids and multitude of pets. I think we're going to try to do RAGBRAI as a family next year, so I'll save myself for that. Hopefully with LiveSTRONG if we can pull it off. Hey did Tour de Donut already happen and I missed the report? Or is this an off year? LOVE the decal idea for the back of the van.
