I'll take ...yawn...for now. I think I have left DNA on three separate continents and now days I like to stay healthy and mobile. For my first year into this exclusive club I will go out and pedal till I puke. That way I know what my threshold is and work harder and improve the "YAK" threshold.
Knowing me by the end of this season I will have spent another five grand on improving my racing rig and driven my wife crazy on proving I can still endure pain and suffering like a testosterone peaked twenty year old.
