I've had some really chilly rides because I don't wear gloves normally (can't stand them actually unless it's winter or very cold and raining). I know all the Friends of Fatty will finish! I have no doubt. The Queen of Pain said the course has been fast so hope it remains fast and isn't too hot or cold or rainy. I wish I could be there to cheer you on! If you happen to see a guy in an HDR jersey, tell him Sasha said Hi and Good Luck. He is a coworker from another office. I am not sure if this is his first time or not. He's a great guy and has supported my Livestrong fundraising in the past. If I don't write before Saturday - good luck and Allez!

Well, it snowed above 11,000 ft. I learned a harsh lesson in the weather here and the importance of staying dry while riding (wet fingers for a very short time, very bad idea). My goals? I have 3. 1. Finish under 12. 2. Time splits written down: 11 hours. 3. Remember goal #1. (I too really want to just finish under 12 hours. I have no idea what to expect.) Corrine, I have my Last Stop Pie Shop shirt with me. I will try to wear it tomorrow. I think Jenni and I will try to go to Single Track High. Will be on the lookout for other FOF's. Friends of Fatty's keep us in your thoughts. It's going to be a ride. There is no doubt about that. :) The weather in Leadville today? Well, it snowed above 11,000 ft.

Total death march- 20k in climbing over 100 miles. 69 entered, 21 finished. You should check it out- Oakridge has beautiful riding and scenery, but not much else going on- I live in Bend, but would love to see the gang in Oakridge get some publicity for their events and top-notch trail maintenance. www.cascadecreampuff.com Cheers, kyle Fatty– I just got back from the Cascade CreamPuff 100 in beautiful Oakridge, Oregon.
