Glad I’m not the only one who looks forward to the comments ALMOST as much as the actual post.

Looking forward to that 2016 report — was there another cliffhanger from The Swimmer … er Nails … er The Monster…err Melissa? Or is this the same one?

Oh — Was cleaning out the bookcases and came upon the “Comedian Mastermind: The Best of FatCyclist.com 2005-2007″. I think it’s time for another read.

I knew Leroy’s Dog was one smart pooch!

Thank you for pointing out the true authorship of Melisa’s nickname. I knew there was a picture out there to back it up, but I was working on my phone. And as those who know me ’searching’ is difficult on a rotary dial.

Hmm. I’m going to have to ask my husband what he would do. I think it would be the same. I love psychology of couples!
And I love “Nails” as a nickname for Melissa. And leroy, your dog was right to make you link to that old post. Totally forgot about that.
I’ve missed all of my FoF. It’s good to hear from everybody again.

Dear Mr. FC –

For some reason my dog won’t stop poking me in the ribs and demanding I post a link to one of your old posts and direct your attention to the comments at 4:14 PM and 6:26 PM.

So here goes.

He wasn’t going to let me get anything done today if I didn’t.

Honestly, I thought the box of gold stars I gave him would have occupied him longer.

I believe the world is still waiting for the next installment of Melisa’s Leadville 2016 (?) ride report?

I understand she and David H are workshopping it together. – FC

Pouting and cycling don’t go together. Peter Sagan got bounced from the TdF because the whiny pouty guy next to him forgot how to ride his bike.

More importantly, so not aero.

I have never considered the aero ramifications of a protruding lower lip. Until now. I’m so glad I rebooted this blog. – FC
