In fact I'm confident I NEVER had any intention of riding like that....... well maybe when I was twelve riding downslope through the oat fields....furrows? what;s a furrow......OH! that was a furrow. ow!

I do still really want that Ibis, though! @davidh Between your video and FC’s from today, I found myself yearning for a nice quilting blog to read–in between saying “wow, that looks like fun” and “no, I will not emulate Evel Knievel” and then “maybe I could do that part.” I do still really want that Ibis, though!

Thought I'd give @PNP some inspiration for his new bike and style of riding!

After all, I'm just up the road in Portland! As for 60 being the new 40, every now and then, I find myself surprised that I'll be 60 in June. I sure feel better than I did at 40, so maybe in that way, I'm trending in the right direction! @davidh Be careful; I might just take you up on that. After all, I’m just up the road in Portland!

I've been hungering for a ride these past 8 weeks! Cast comes off the wrist next week and its back to the bike. If you come to NorCal I'll take you up a few trails where the 70 y.o guy dusts everyone! @PNP Take it from me 60 is the new 40! I’ve been hungering for a ride these past 8 weeks!

And that's saying something, since I'm almost 60 years old and I've never ridden on anything more sketchy than a little bit of gravel. It could be that this blog is an evil influence ... that I like a lot. :-) This bike could make me take up off-road riding.

We also have the Fireweed 400 (which has a few options available). Both are fundraisers. :) Come on ya'll know you want to come to Alaska!

Flat as a pancake until you hit Turnagain Pass (and the hill there isn't that steep, just long). After that, the hills get steeper, but nothing super bad. :)Otherwise, I'm on board to go somewhere for a ride with other Fattys. I'm super sad about Davis. I personally am not a huge fan of Austin (no offense to Steve and the other Texas folks cause they are GREAT!). The atmosphere just doesn't have the same feel as Davis which is bike friendly to the extreme. That is depressing. What about the breast cancer ride in Cali? I'm sure we can all come up with options and pick one. Let's make it happen folks! I love planning and can help with logistics.
