Just a few sound bites from the masses,
The other day I stopped at Hanford tires to get my wheels pumped up before hitting the trails. The guy who was manning the pump check my pressure and told me that the tire could be in the range from 45-60 psi, did I want a comfortable ride or a fast one? I asked, "Can't I have both?" No, Soft tires give a smoother ride, hard will give less friction and speed. I told him, my body is built for comfort so let's go with speed on the bike....I want it all.
John V is happy that I'm converting to clips and getting a new bike. "Then you can get rid of the basket" Get rid of the basket???? I don't think so. New bike-new basket. My friend Steve has given me the best reason to keep it- I can put the oxygen tank in there for the ride into Denver, the mile high city!
My friend Kristie is not so worried about me being able to bike the trip, she's worried about me spending that much time with people. She may be right. For the last few days, as I do my practice runs, I've been thinking of something I could do that MIGHT annoy some people but would be a lot of fun AND a little funny. I'm thinking each day of a new way to ask people(who are already there) to join me. You know....we get out of the tents in the morning, sun shining, turning to whoever's there and saying "What a great day! Want to go for a bike ride?" or "In the mood for a bike ride?" or "So what do you want to do today? I think I'll go for a bike ride." I think this could go 2 ways...Either people will get so annoyed that there will be a mutiny and an intervention OR I hope everyone starts doing it. Anyone want to start a pool? On which way it will go and on which day? HEY! Great fund-raising idea!

You have always chosen your company wisely and while you may not know your future bike enthusiasts, the sponsoring group in which you are assimilating into is one you have selected wisely.
I pick that the majority will go with the "fun" (the minority mutiny will last as long as a Starbucks in my hand) and pick day 6 for it to catch on.
I'm in on the bet...who else now?!?
Hate to be a damper but I'm thinking even Gayle can't sustain it at a "fun" level indefinitely. I give it 14 days before she's hung and quartered.....and I want pictures!!! ~H
"What a great day to punish our butts in the saddle! wanna come?"
"What a splendid day, lets all go chew on exhaust for a few hours!"
"Good morning, race you to the next starbucks!"
"Hello, My name is Gayle, eat my dust!"
Need more? just ask
