We are incorrigible and I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread. No good deed goes unpunished.

This never happens. Usually there is a line of "helpful" guys. I'm heading out right now to see if I can help out any homeless babes.

We all would have stopped in the middle of an interval, even those of us who don't do them! How long were the skid marks?

Well it was up a 6% grade so I was only going about 15 at the time. It's funny I always ask people if they need any help and this was the first time I've ever had anybody respond "yes" :shrug:

@Danno: ugh, she's ugly and the guy doesn't look anything like me... and I wouldn't be caught dead dressed like that

Edit: she has nice legs but her face...
