haha well thanks for trying to show me the way. the block after the sidewalk i had to make an evasive right turn to avoid getting crushed and got turned around as all ****. what'd you end up finishing? i'll fantasize than i managed to hang in there with ya and finish better than i actually did.

one of the best things about the ride and i'd imagine rides like this in general is the comraderie ya feel with other riders during the race and the collaboration. it might be a race but it's not a "me against you" sorta competition. the competitive aspect of alleycats was what kept me away for so long but out there riding i definitely didn't feel it in any negative way.

boots - i'd say that'd definitely be reason for a malpractice suit. however, since you just popped it in yourself at home and don't have any evidence that it wasn't actually put in place by the doc you might not be able to sue. that sucks though man. hope ya feel better soon.

so where did all the forumers end up in the results. i'm imaginging some of you did pretty well. what are the names to match to the pseudonyms? i'm up there in 77! spirit of 77 all the way!
