thanks Fatty for being on stage with me and making me feel comfortable and less alone up there! It was such a great week all the way around. Couldn’t have scripted it better and wouldn’t change a thing…even having you stay with me wasn’t that bad!

[...] smitten with Reba and has declared that he cannot do a review on the book. Heck, he was the emcee at the book release in Leadville this year. I figured I would pick up the slack for him and try my best to do a review [...]

My stomach would burn that plan 3-4 hours into the race. Wish I could digest food regularly like a metronome.

My dog said if he had a coat like that, he’d shed too.

As usual, I don’t get half the stuff he says.

He doesn’t have a coat like that and sheds anyway.

Don’t you just hate it when things go so ominously right? I get that all the time and its freaky, just like that wooly coat you wore.

Kinda reminds me of this

Wooooohoooooo!!!! Another multi-part write-up from Mr. Fat Cyclist himself! And, then, The Hammer’s version and, I hope, The Queen-of-Pain’s version.

I’m so psyched to see Fatty’s posts for the next 3 weeks! ;-p

I’m setting the over/under on the Leadville write-up, including The Hammer and Reba posts at 7-1/2.

Fatty, I know how you feel with having to work hard to look so good – a.k.a. your wooly coat photo. Sometimes I feel if I had any hair on my head at all it would be much easier. But, all that extra skin care….

I’ve been reading your blog posts about Leadville for a few years now and have always thought it would be an amazing experience if I could ever get up to that level of fitness. I’ve found myself in a situation where I’m able to spend a lot of time on the bike (living in the Netherlands) and have made a commitment to myself to race Leadville in 2016. I’ll see you there.

Fatty, David H, Jeremy, Thanks for the kind words. We had a great time as part of Fatty’s posse.

Corrine, I know what you mean…I was in S. Salt Lake last summer and did crane my neck a few times while riding my road bike just wondering if Fatty would be wandering around that area and thought that I was accessing my creeper side (as my daughter calls it).

I’d love to join the FoF Backyard Camp (FoFBC-like KOA except awkward)…I don’t mtn. bike though I do ask my hybrid to channel its mtn. bike side on occasion.

I’d also like to head up to Alaska too. Both good reasons for another bike buy eh?!
