Oooh, and that Ibis Ripley looks sweet. It would be nice to add that to my growing collection of N+1 bikes without having to resort to begging or bait-and-switching... every time I try that we somehow end up with a puppy instead of a bike...

I had to wait till I got home to a computer since it was impossible for me to express myself on a phone keypad, luckily my incredulity had not ebbed.

Probably the three most incredible declarations I’ve ever read in your blog.

…it worries me that my readers don’t know much about my new book
…haven’t seen it and don’t know whether you’ll like it
…you don’t know whether you’re going to want to buy it

Seriously?

I can only conclude that the 100MoN took 5 minutes longer to sell out this year than in years past.
That you hadn’t seen AKChick’s impassioned plea to one day, come to Alaska.
Or our ‘comment count has fallen below some blog metric standard as defined by Gardner.

Anyone who has read anything by you would immediately know they needed more. The chance for Leadville, an Ibis, or anything else that becomes part of this event would only be icing on the cake. Money to WBR; ice cream for that cake!

We all know Lisa is the wise sage of the Nelson Castle, but one page was all the ‘taste’ we needed.
or,
A ‘dog eared’ review from Leroy’s dog
or,
a brief review from Paul Guyot

Any of these would be sufficient to have us buy not one, not two but easily THREE copies each!

To fret and lose sleep suggests you forgot that great scene in Breaking Away where Greg Lemond says “if you write it they will come.”(it’s in the Directors cut)

Relax, enjoy, and have faith in all of us. After all you’re our ‘leader’!

So now i just bought the paperback version and will still want to buy the digital version, so you get two buys from me. Looking forward to it, it will be the only christmas present to myself, since i spent the rest on my 3 kids. An audio version might be fun while sitting on a spin bike in the winter rain. Then again, maybe not, if listening to you has me laughing like a moron at the gym, while i should be suffering.
