Dudelsack-
You don't think you'd be able to keep up with me?? What would make you say that?
Since last year I have dropped 43 pounds due to diet and riding (259 to 216 at 6'3"),
BUT I'M NO FASTER!!
And one more I forgot to mention yesterday...
Sometimes after a long ride I fill the bathtub halfway up with water and turn the shower on and pretend I'm in a submarine that's been hit.
