I am envious of that stable of yours.

I believe I counted 59 bullet points, plus sub points a-f. In review we've completed the following (5) today; <i>Fear and trembling with The Hammer The Hammer tells me to quit being such a baby about the race The Hammer has predictions The fastest warranty in the world 24hr race philosophy</i><i> This is going to be the BEST WINTER EVER!</i> So this is pretty cool.

It just started snowing a bit in the past week here in Fairbanks, but I have been loving the weather of the last two months! @AKChick – This fall has been fabulously amazing, has it not?!

I was too busy to check yesterday, checked this morning and didn't realize it was from yesterday, logged on tonight to read the comments and voila, the first race report! :) Yay me! I win! I have learned that my digestive system can't take a lot of food during a long ride (I have yet to ride in anything over 110 miles or 8 hours so not sure about a 24 hour ride). I stick with liquids, replenishing electrolytes and having a couple orange wedges or a plain bagel at aid stations. I carry my own energy drink - my stomach can only tolerate a couple drinks during a ride. The really funny thing is that when I do training rides, this isn't a problem. Weird. Looking forward to reading all your bullet points from the 25 Hours of Frog Hollow (I just realized after reading this post why it's called that - yes, I am slow sometimes). PS When are you going to get fat tire bikes? You will love it so much that you'll get a workout and have so much fun doing it that you won't realize how strenuous it was and you'll keep the winter blubber at bay (I really think you must be hallucinating about the extra weight with all the riding you've been doing this year). We are having the longest warmest fall I can remember so we haven't had any snow yet. Well, the mountains have snow and people are dragging out the rock skis and boards and hiking up to carve some turns. Crazy! Bonus for me.

I'm also pleased to see that Fatty and Lisa communicate electronically. I just wonder what room she was in, or, were they both in the same room 'cause that would be <i>perfect</i>! Saw Orville Wright's SS today at the air and space museum and thought of Fatty. That would be a Fatty vs Levi race to bet on!

As for eating on a hard ride, I can barely swallow a shot bloc when I'm riding hard, let alone eat food. I think it has more to do with lack of saliva than too much exertion. For example, my boy scouts troop and I can eat your list of food EACH after a long hike ;-) I was going with 14 laps for The Hammer, and then I remembered your “The Hammer, a cheerfully bloody mess” bullet point, so now I’m going with only 13 (I’m savoring the story, so not looking up the results).
