Rather mundane.  Mother on her way to p/u kiddie at preschool decided to execute a &#039;right hook&#039;. 3700 miles ytd has been interrupted, and I missed the Fondo...at least the riding part.

As for pink,  I thought it would get a reaction with the kids.  I didn&#039;t make the connection for breast cancer awareness month until I got compliments at work.  Then I thought, &#039;how cool is that&#039;.</description>

		<description>Oops! I forgot to enter my info so the Anonymous post is from me. 

I forgot to thank Fatty for taking the time to write another award winning post and to say that I may have selected &quot;Other&quot; and might have typed in the URL for an award-winning, massive quad wielding, humorous and handsome cycling blogger who has the prettiest, sweetest, most amazing wife ever. :)</description>

		<description>OMW OMW OMW!!! That ending was THE BEST! I love it!!!

I have to say that ladies aren&#039;t immune to that pinched feeling in the crotchal area. As a cycling newbie, I couldn&#039;t bring myself to wear cycling shorts commando during my first 100 miler. BIG MISTAKE. I have a spot to this day give me trouble on longer rides thanks to that newbie move. I have also gravitated from thickly padded shorts to ones with less padding. In Hawaii, I wear tri shorts (heat + thick Alaska blood = cycling in as little as possible). I have come to prefer the Twin Six Fatcylist bibs chamois. It&#039;s perfect and rarely gives my tender spot issues. They are my favs for riding. I use a different chamois cream (I did try the Bliss, it just didn&#039;t work as well for me). But, I digress.

DavidH - what happened to your arm? Also, why the choice of pink? Is that for breast cancer awareness month?</description>

		<description>Murphy&#039;s law, or is it Fatty&#039;s law?

Post my post above, I arrived home to find my New Jersey.  It&#039;s great in every way.  Here significantly quicker than I expected, it looks great, fits well etc...  And considering my previous jersey still look like new after a few years of use I can&#039;t wait to debut the jersey on a ride soon.

Thanks to,fatty and the twin six team.  

Now it&#039;s 11 PM here in oz, where.s the next post Elden?</description>

		<description>@fatty:
12 for 12 only &#039;road option&#039; allows you to enter name of website under &#039;other&#039;.  That&#039;s kinda of a bummer since i would love some new xtr.

nice to see the fof&#039;s at levi&#039;s.  apologies to those that didn&#039;t get some pie, but i promise next time we&#039;ll organize earlier and better. (at least i hope to have a fatty graphics tent by then).

@dougb  since i am reduced to typing w/ left hand only lengthy comments are on a &#039;break&#039;.

hold the applause</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;My&lt;/i&gt; Zac(h) would &lt;i&gt;NOT&lt;/i&gt; have come back to help. He &lt;i&gt;would&lt;/i&gt;, however, have been stricken by a look of panic!

Sorry I missed the pie tent, but nice to see Lisa and you on the course, Fatty. 

And, BTW, after doing 400+ miles at Salt-to-Saint, I would not have thought less of you had you stuck to your original plan and done the Medio at LGF. After doing the 103.5 miles of the Granfondo, I am even more amazed and impressed.</description>

		<description>How do you remember everything in such incredible detail?  I have trouble remembering what happened between rest stops on the Gran Fondo, much less a loooong ride. Funny how I remember the food though.

&lt;em&gt;That&#039;s a great question. 

First, I make a bullet list ASAP after the event; it contains short (2-3 word) descriptions of everything I can remember that I found interesting, funny, hard, sad, whatever. I don&#039;t worry about chronology when I make this list. Chronology is easy to sort whenever. I find that as I make this list, I&#039;m reminded of things that surprise me. 

Second, I structure the list into a two-level outline: Big events and details within those events.

Third, I write, using the list as a reference. As I write, I often remember things that aren&#039;t even in the list. I think most people find that if they take the time to write down a story, the amount of detail that&#039;s there for the recalling is really quite amazing. - FC&lt;/em&gt;</description>
