Ride More ( Than You Want)
Pat

This is one of the very few occasions when I have wished I lived somewhere else.

:cry:

I can't believe there are only two masochists on BikeForums!

(Mainly because I, myself, am suspect; though I do not wish to congratulate myself in this respect, at least, not yet.)

Im out! I have done double centurys in the past, both, off road, both when i got lost out there! Not fun, 14hrs on a bike just hurts! :eek:

Chris, this is 320 km.

Patman,

are you freeekin krazy man?

:cry:

I guess I'm not a mazzo after all...

Pete,

I HAVE NOT done this ride, some have accused me of doing CRAZIER things though. A buddy of mine won it once on a TOUGHER course and got heat stroke when another buddy of mine WON it on this course on a one-speed Schwinn "triple bar" Cruiser!!!
The story goes: He would have won by HOURS, if he hadn't stopped, took a nap and waited for a category TWO racer because he got bored with riding alone. If I can remeber right, the winning time that year was about nine hours.

Ride Far Enough

This convinces me that truth is, indeed, often stranger than fiction.

:eek:

Yo, Pete

I have STRANGER truths, if you want them, about rides and riders of course!!

Ride the Edge,
Pat

Yeah, but what would life be like without challenges?

As a flatlander, all I can think of to say is:

MOMMY!!

Outstanding! Thanks for pointing that out! I live in Missoula, so getting to Spokane for the Double Century is eeeezeee for me! Gives me something to really look forward to! Thanks again! See you there!

I ride. I fall down. I get up.
Meanwhile, I keep dancing.

No you wont. :)
