FoF pacelines ftw! I’d be game – probably dead game – but game nonetheless. ;)

I forgot DaveT and ChrisD, Mykill L, and UptheGradeinSR, WhartonCrew, Kukui, Sasha, and Corrine, and how cool would it be to race/ride with TheNoodle.

So if we start early enough we could field an interesting group for next year. I know my tandem partner would be game. Can these legs be done on a tandem?

Alternatively if we could field three FoF teams we could match them up on legs and have our own little pace lines going. Yann would be ‘captain;of course, and we could probably get The Wild Chapek-a’s to try again. Mark in Bremerton once expressed interest. Jeremy? Nic? Zeeter? AngieG? LauraS? JeffDeVries? and of course NancyJBS! Heck three teams would just be the start.

After all the past posts about your coed team “dynasty”, etc., you were pretty low key about “only” placing third. Still, great race and reports! The event is obviously becoming better known (thanks to you, in large part). A good thing.

We had done our research and were pretty sure we were outmatched going into this edition of the race. This actually allowed us to stress less and have more fun this year. Although whenever any of us were on the bike, we were going FULL GAS. – FC

I think there needs to be a 13th installment. You know, to tidy things up and close all the open questions?

Or maybe you can just publish a list of how much of the three weeks of food your team ate!

Excellent race report FC. Kudos to you, The Hammer, The Heather, and The Kenny!

I used that working together tactic in my last race. Sure, I pretty much had to turn myself inside out to catch him on the climb and I may have tried to drop him, but that was only once. We settled in and worked well together and were very thankful for the breaks when we hit the headwind about 20 miles from the finish. If I had to work alone, I would guess I would have lost 15 minutes or more.

I think the coed teams should be required to have 2 men and 2 women. The split times are interesting. One leg a guy finishes an hour behind the leader then the next leg he finishes first almost an hour before the next guy. How does that happen? He conserved his energy?

Awesome job to everyone for bringing the FUN and the power to the race. The goofs and hard work both make great reading. I hope someday I have as great of riding friends to race with!
