davidh- well, I thought that was a great idea, but my dog reminded me he’s not a working breed, and if he were, I couldn’t afford him. However, he did volunteer to write snarky comments of any photo of me in Lycra.

@leroy
Something goofier? You need to find a ‘Dog Park’ to ride circles around. Then the dog cold be there to live blog your effort.

8one6– I’ve done the 100 MON in Prospect Park. Much calmer than Central Park. Report here:

I’m out of town this weekend, but plan on riding the 100 MoN next weekend. A long out and back if the weather is good; prospect park or something else if weather isn’t good.

Or something goofier if I can think of it.

Also, if you are in/near boston, feel free to join me on my route tomorrow. Doing out and backs between Belmont and Waltham on concord Ave. 100 miles, 8800 feet of climbing. 1 out and back is 9ish miles. I’ll be doing 11. Here’s the route: http://www.strava.com/routes/277367

8one6 – I’ve done 2 (attempted 3) in NYC. The first one I did and likely best option for you is the lower loop of central park. It’s short of 2 miles, and if you start around 6am, you can knock it out before it gets really REALLY crowded in the park. Just make sure there isn’t a CRCA race that morning. The other one I did was at Kissena Velodrome. We reserved it a few weeks in advance and set up a tent and everything. You can probably just show up and ride there but don’t be surprised if you get kicked out by the racers who reserve it for practice.

One route I tried and failed at (too much effort for my physical fitness level that day) was laps around Grants Tomb. Traffic is surprisingly mild there, but it’s uphill one way and it adds up to a ton of climbing.

I did my 100.5 miles today. It was a .66 mile course around the building I work in, an industrial building with 4 suites. I picked this course and used a vacation day to do it just to mess with my co-workers minds. It worked, because they could not see the point of it. While those of us doing this ride know the point of this ride is the lack of a point, other than to help Fatty raise money for Camp Kesem. Which is not really a point, but just the right thing to do. For me my pie was knowing I did a good thing for a good cause, and I did get 2 scoops of ala’mode with it. The look on faces of the people from the other suites when they went outside for breaks/lunch and there I was just plugging away and doing it 8 hours (including a potty break to honor Fatty) which is a personal best for me. Good luck to everyone and Thanks Fatty for holding this ride.

If anyone from Berkeley/East Bay wants to join me on Sunday, I’ll be competing in the Spectacular Berkeley Marina Gravel Grinder Mixed Terrain Cyclocross Extravaganza. Probably with detours to the Bay Bridge, Aquatic Park, and finishing in Point Richmond for burgers.

Oh, and the wife is making Apple Pie. :D

“It’s not you. It’s me.” Had a girlfriend tell me that once. You know what, it was her!
