The "Bad Idea T-Shirt" girls were back for a little while. <sigh> Gone again.

I'm hoping to finish a 200K and a 300K by the end of the summer.

Then again, any guy who has gone through 5 weddings should be institutionalized.

Maybe it's a signal to a sleeper sock?

i'm not sure either, but that's almost, but not quite the distances of an ironman, if the "s" just stands for swim.

although i do think people who do that **** for fun probably should be institutionalized.

They do it, or at least some fraction of it, for the medal.

ba dum dum...

The 400K's here started at 4 am, so the only lighting needed was the 2 hours in the am. That said, ours were front loaded with climbing at about 10,000 feet in the first 80 miles. Once you got that nonsense out of the way, it was clear sailing, and Hostess Snowballs after 200 miles. 15-16 hours, depending on my mood. I will say, I didn't ride a typical Rando bike though. Last weekend, I raced the same bike I did my Brevet's on. I didn't haul the whole house with me either. Over 300K, I would bring 3 tubes, instead of 2, and an extra CO2 cartridge. So, how you choose to do these rides will dictate the lighting, and equipment you bring along.

That sounds like good news, ts?

Is it just me, or do Delta Dawn and Fat Bottomed Girls sound musically similar in parts? Sing it to yourself, you'll see.

Helen Reddy got there first. Or was it Tanya Tucker?

Aren't you the poster formerly known as RTDub? What happened to the Dub? And why are you listening to Delta Dawn?

My favorite Tammy Wynette song.

Now..... I don't write sad songs, and stuff like that, as I think I'm actually pretty normal and level headed.

I think those may help keep you out of the institution. Good luck, TampaRaleigh.

I like it RUOkie. Thanks!

Ughhhh....

Parlee rep still hasn't called my rep at Wrench Science back. :mad:

i know, we have one of those hanging on the wall... and the big dummy wants to do it (the whole thing) again someday.

lunatic.

i keep telling him, only if he does something like, IM New Zealand or the Canary Islands. if i have to put up with the training and all that again, i want a good payoff at the end.

I would be singing a sad song--and my singing itself is sad--if I tried riding 150+ miles in one day.

Speaking of WHHOOOOOOOOOSSHHHH, how's his 5k post quest going?

Try to keep up.

unpossible

it would seem so. i wasn't too worried since i'm not in any pain, and i can use the arm fine (within a limited range, and without weight on it) he said usually 8 weeks usually for full healing, but there's no gap to fill in.

big breakthrough today however was being able to reach the opposite armpit with a razor.

Just go French.

I confess I am confused about the "Dub" and why it is now superfluous.

not me. I didn't even bother reading it. just deleted it as soon as I saw it in my inbox. It'll all be US based companies anyway. postage would kill any "deal".
