I mean even at the maximum allowed rate of posting you are WAY behind. We all really just read this to see what you have to say! Good Luck in CT Elden. I'm there next weekend. But unlike you I get to bring my bike. Have a new 40 mile single/double track dirt trail to explore. DavidH…..Come on its been two whole days!

Easier to pack than a bike, and you can pretend the torture you feel while rolling out muscles is climbing your favorite hill. hey, we finally saw the levi effect movie, and caught a glimpse of you at the Granfondo. And the magnitude of the Leadville 100 really sunk in after viewing the footage of Levi winning in 2010. Enjoy connect-i-cut.

High-end carbon (or Aloominium) is not. Look for a gently used one or look for a shop trying to get last year's models out the door... Fatty - Enjoy CT. With all of your training and whatnot, the rest will probably do your body good. @Marsupial Matt: Carbon can be very affordable. High-end carbon (or Aloominium) is not.

Thanks for the info on Deidre (Rob's dog)...brought tears to my eyes (true)...I voted TWICE (both home AND work emails). Like all of us LIVESTRONG Davis Fatty-family I've met Rob, Dave, Amy and Deidre, and I'm continually inspired by the entire family. And being a dog-lover (we have 3) I love to hear about how she is helping Rob. What a wonderful story...an entire family of hero's (seriously!) See u all in Davis VERY SOON! And Fatty, I'd say enjoy your trip, but sounds like this is one not to be enjoyed but endured. And as to your newest cycling acquisition, I can only say YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK (in an extremely jealous tone). Sheesh...I'm still riding Aloominium for crying out loud...(both my MTB and road). Just can't seem to get my wife to understand the formula for how many bikes I need, want, covet, envy, drool-over, and desire. Also the rather high price-tag of the latest high-zoot carbon-wonders is rather insane.

She's such an inspiration! I will do you a favor and not tell you where all of the awesome cupcake shops are in Connecticut. I know it's hard enough to eat right when you're on the road without extra encouragement. Congrats to the Hammer! She’s such an inspiration!
