It's not unusual to be wiped after biking 100 miles. And it's no big deal if you're doing a century and you're about to debike and dive into a big pasta dinner.
It is a big deal when you've still got 277 miles to go.
Joe's been an enthusiastic supporter of cycling in the Triangle. I've seen him at Cycle North Carolina and the Frostbite ride, a local charity event.
Meantime, on the Georgia randon list, Kevin Kaiser posted a link to a Savannah Morning News article that announced the arrival of "the 39 survivors of the 2007 Pacific-Atlantic-Cycling Elite Tour." Kevin and brother Chris were among the finishers.
Lon Haldeman, who runs the PAC Tour with Susan Notarangelo, reported a 22 percent attrition rate among the 50 riders who started. Two riders were injured in crashes, and the heat accounted for the other dropouts, according to the newspaper article. One of those injured was Ed Pavelka.
Finally, I mentioned Nancy Guth in a recent post as the perennial champ of the women's 24-hour race. Here's an article about her from a Virginia newspaper.

Joe "Take it Outside" Miller has indeed been a very enthusiastic supporter of cycling in the Triangle. He used to lead after-work beginner rides from the Spin Cycle, and I think he's been very involved in the local and state-wide mountain biking scene too.
