I must confess, for a moment right before I crashed on the Nyack Ride last month (and I recall this clearly) this thought flashed through my mind: 'Well, this will suck but at least the real suffering is over now'. We were just beginning the charge up the 3-5% upgrade to Pearl River, and I wasn't in such great shape, so it was gonna hurt pretty bad.

On the other hand, this evening Mrs. Pcad remarked that I was starting to look awful skinny. She never says that. You are all so totally effed.
