This is the ’side-bar’ ad that displayed while reading @triflefat’s projections.
http://www.revlonhairtools.com/products/appliances/dryers/pro-collectiontm-salon-one-step-hair-dryer-and-styler

Hair tools? Seriously? Me, or you, Elden? Another way the Fat Man executes his comedic mastermind talents at all levels of his blog. way to go Fatty.

I’m pretty sure you saw that ad because someone using your computer has been to a hair-related site recently. Hmmm, any chance there’s a teenage girl in your family? – FC

I’m going out on a limb here and trying to predict the outcome of the next leg based on some information contained in the photos from the first 4 parts of the story. That information is:
1. Ben is young
2. Ben is tall and slim and has an easy yet excellent vertical leap
3. Ben has respectable quads
4. Ben is a serious cyclist – he shaves his legs

Conclusion:- Ben is going to murder this leg

Elementary my dear Watson.

Good Read.

I bet Lindsey had an identical pair of socks in her gear bag…

But are there zombies involved in the upcoming “new dramatic level”? That’s what I want to know!

No zombies this year. I confess I was disappointed. – FC

Great job, Lindsey. Way to go! Can’t wait to hear how weird it is going to get.

@Bart I’ll take your ten if you take mine. @Leadville we should work together getting that 20 lbs up the hill.

Dang physics, I wish I had a way to eliminate the part it plays in that power to weight ratio.
I know, I know I have the option to lower the weight, or increase the power, but I want an easy option. On a related note anyone out there want to take my extra unwanted 10 pounds, I’ll take it back after this year’s Leadville 100 I promise.

I look forward to reading the finale on Labor Day.

You’re probably kidding, but sometime in the next few days I’m going to have to have the story stay in exactly the same place for about three installments. – FC

I agree with Leroy. Best multi-parter Elden has produced.

Great report Fatty. Not so much a ‘cliffhanger’ this year…more like a bluffhanger, or tall-wallhanger, or maybe even ‘a vertical-ridge-liphanger’. The drama is still there, but the MUST KNOW MORE facet is down to a more tolerable level. However, I’m still waiting to hear about those crushed helmets.

That will be coming soon. Indeed, I think you’re going to find that within the next couple of installments, this story is going to go to a completely new dramatic level. Everything is just about to get very, very, very weird. – FC
