OK, who's impressed?
I'm impressed with your capacity for rewriting history. Aren't you the one who posted a "I break everything on my bikes" thread about 6 months ago? Aren't you the guy with the broken crank (and proud of it)? Aren't you the guy who called the LBS mobile unit on a ride when you got a flat tire and then (allegedly) tipped the kid $20 for his trouble?
Help me out here.
I am impressed with that mileage total. I don't have quite that many under my belt.
