Ooh, a wedding! How funnnnn!
Gack--women inflict those torture sessions on us just to make us earn the honeymoon.
I wouldn't beat yourself up over Mt Laguna, Idoru. This year was my first time, and it was The Hardest CenturyI've Ever Done. (Even harder than l'Etape.) I should have known something was up when I was the only guy at the start line who didn't have a compact crank.
Haw-haw--look at all the sissies with their pathetic little compacts! (Oh, wait... )
I'm currently building a bike with a triple with Mt Laguna (and maybe saving my cleats) in mind.
Have fun on your post-century ride, and sorry I'll be too busy retoxing to join you.
