I hate to ask but curiosity's got the best of me. How do you sit on the saddle with a bottle in your pants? Oh, reminds me, came across this little challenge while spending too much time surfing and not riding. Iditarod bike race in Alaska, in February!!! Now that's masochistic.

I walk from my house to my garage, about 80 feet and say damn I'm not riding in this!

A century a month, that's a damned fine achievement. I should try for that in 09. Maybe it should be a 200k every month?

I like the Velocipede-Brewer's Art idea. Set a date.

Got off my trainer and got out yesterday for hill repeats 1200 feet in 12 miles, up and down. Also did a spin class in the a.m over at Meadowbrook. Without the commute to compel me to ride I need to find other ways to get some training in and stay close to my studio.
