I'd never have guessed this was just your first (of hopefully many more to come) RUSA brevets. <br /><br />Vance, wish we'd had more time riding together after Mt. Gilead. I started getting chills at every control beginning there and HAD to get rolling again, pronto.<br /><br />KeithDoctor on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250964218105821633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803144976327688451.post-81405814839689399052010-01-04T12:10:16.754-05:002010-01-04T12:10:16.754-05:00Gunnar,

Cold? You haven't lived until you commute to work at 15 below zero. That was a long time ago when I was 19 and living in Spokane WA. But I used the same down filled mittens from 38 years ago on Saturday's ride and they still work great. This was my inaugural 200K as an official RUSA member (not the first 200K though), and also the longest one day ride for me so far (134 miles). Thanks to Tony G and all the participants.<br /><br />..BobBiker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534518595270344813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803144976327688451.post-55270085040756105232010-01-03T20:20:58.454-05:002010-01-03T20:20:58.454-05:00Good jobe everyone.

(I managed to take only three all day, two of them of the very same bridge.) Good to see you (mostly the back of you) yesterday.<br />That wind really destroyed and demoralized me. I rolled in at about 7:15.

One instance where I'm kinda glad to have missed a ride.<br /><br />Here in the Arctic Circle, aka Maugansville, MD, it reached a breathtaking 23 this afternoon with 40mph gusts. I brought my fixed gear but have yet to try to take it out for a ride.<br /><br />Happy New Year!bullcitybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192815902377485617noreply@blogger.com
