Man they just don't make amateur bike racers like that anymore... our team can barely go 80 miles without someone wanting to stop for coffee and donuts.. 100 miles and there's talk of a sag wagon.. =[

Dude! 5 hours already? I hope they were easy ones.

That's why we're calling it training camp and not super-happy-fun time. =]

It'll be an ass-kicker for all of us for sure, but that's the point.
I think I will seriously try to stay in the small ring all day on our 100 mile adventure on Saturday.. well at least until the final sprint!
