Vanguard and Counterweight! You def need WHITE jersey's for next year's relay. Not sure how in the heck you wear black. I would melt. Literally. I'm also with @Christina on the Wonder Woman how cute comment. The Hammer is epic. One of the best things is though she is fiercely competitive, she is one of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet. And gorgeous! Fatty, you are LUCKY! :) *Snort* @Leroy I LOLed at the image of Fatty inline skating! Sad this epic tale of suspense and AWESOME women (and men) is about to end. It's been the best post ever! *Snort* “coxcombery”

That both cancels the podium presentation in the ensuing hubbub AND lets you off the hook as he can claim all the damage on insurance.

Did I miss the part where you explained how the van just started rolling in the first place? I thought that was going to be part of the story. I need closure! Lisa is indeed awesome.

No doubt a break from the wind, but The Hammer is epic. In my mind it's like you just told me he was going to pull for Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman would be all, "That's cute." I'm so glad this is over but isn't over. I'm going to be sad to see this one end, like binge watching a show.

No nickname yet. Lisa - Fatty's wife, aka "the Runner" aka "the Hammer" Melisa - Lisa's daughter, aka "the Swimmer" aka "the Monster" I too would welcome hearing from the other cyclists of the Fatty Family esp. Lindsay and Ben, but the Monster is a different F^4(Fast Fatty Family Female) who AFAIK hasn't entered these stories road bike (yet?) @cyclingjimbo:
