Kukui – I do the same. I cut the GU with a little water so it’s thinner! I don’t know how Fatty rips all those wrappers all the time! I would have that stuff everywhere!

Those jersey names are much more clever than anything I’d ever be able to come up with.

@ Kim Wack – Whenever I have a support vehicle, I ride with Gu’s in a cheap squeeze bottle. When I get sick of a flavor, my SAG hands me a new one and it’s awesome. The bottle has to go in the cage upside down so gravity can pull it to the top of the bottle, but it’s a faster and much less messy way to fuel!

And I don’t have to worry about littering my pocket contents every time I reach in my jersey pockets.

And while we’re on the topic of food, if AKChick is in the ‘hood, I’ve got a question about Earth Balance PB. Back after Boggs, I purchased two jars: one “regular,” one coconut. Both were awesome WITHOUT the oil separation fiasco of other “natural” PBs.

Well, I just bought a new jar of each. I haven’t opened the coconut yet, but the regular was oil separation city. Not sure if they changed their recipe or if the new one (with flax seed) is different than the old one, but this is driving me back to Skippy/Jif …

Is that the order in which you consume said pocket contents, or are you more random than that?

Question – why not put those Gu’s in a flask? Wouldn’t that be easier?

I love when everything goes right at a race. That happened to me last weekend at the Fireweed 200 time trial race in Alaska. I even made my stretch goal. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it when I hate to wait for 7 minutes for 2 porta potties to come open at one rest stop. One guy was in there leisurely changing his clothes. Didn’t he know I was in a time trial race! Love the race report as usual even if there is less drama.

I was confused by the “I have never” part at first, but then I realized it was a reader-participation thing.

I’ll start.

I think that Fatty has never met a chocolate cake he didn’t like…

I was going to ask the same question, could you please finish that sentence. :-)

And then willingly, this I expose my ignorance…
Ernie who? Ernie and Bert, Ernie? Because if you do an Ernie from Sesame Street impersonation, and video tape it for us, I am so going to donate another bike to WBR as soon as you do.

I am guessing it’s a more “highbrow” or sporty Ernie.

Or maybe not.

Fatty, my friend, a little editing is in order.

Under “Predicting the Future,” there’s an incomplete sentence. And it’s “exhilarating.”

And in the last sentence above the photo of food, you said “…climbing for the next tennish rides.” I mean, I know you like climbing, but that’s quite a prediction! :-)

Sorry; my editor brain is out in full force today.

Great report otherwise!

Uhm, Fatty…under your “Predicting the Future” paragraph, at the bottom you have “due to the fact that I have never” (that I have never finished this sentence?)

I can’t speak for everybody, but I would like to know what you have never.
