I do not envy you - you have more snow than we do. I love skiing but if there is not enough snow then the cold weather is just a drag. I was biking last March, had 300 miles in before St. Patti's day - I don't think that is going to happen this year. I am a bit of a fair weather biker. So what do they mean by 112 more miles to go?

:) Yea the snow is great.As for the 112 more miles its something a fellow rider said to me after riding 112 miles in less than 5 1/2 hours.I said well its only 112 more miles to get in another lap,He replies your f%$&* nuts.Also we were riding the loop of the Iron-man triathlon in lake Placid N.Y. Just for fun.

Cool. I have done my share of centuries but nothing that fast - not yet : )
They have a ride in Iowa called Tomrov - 128 the first day 113 the second and pretty much all hills, probably be a fun ride for you to try. It's in June. I've seen a lot of very expensive bike being walked up some of those hills. For us flat landers, it is a good challenge - builds character. (that's not what I was saying while grinding up those hills), but definately a fun ride.

lalabiker? Hey, I guess with the mini-bus it sort of fits. I tried to visit your friend John to day at Wheel, and he no longer has that job - he is a buyer now. He refered me to Dave instead, talked fer about 90 minutes. Didn't buy, but learned lots. Still looking, surfing e-bay, etc - hopefully will have a new one soon (new for me at least!)
See ya at work - I am off to appleton tomorrow, but will be back wed.
