    Hopefully the cycling computer will survive the crash as I likely won't.
    I had no idea you were a runner.
    PLesa excuse the tpyos.

      That was good but consiering it was intended for babs, wikipedia would have been a much better site to link to.

            Okay, a 25 mile loop takes me all the way from eleven hundred feet to TWELVE hundred feet. I tell you what, those polka dots are *mine*, baby.

              I have no idea where you are getting this "touchiness" vibe, but it seems to be a pattern lately. On the CUF ride last week I learned that mtnbiker thought all of my jokes leading up to the ride were serious. For example, referring to that time when I pretended to be offended when he asked me if I was a lawyer, he said that I "ripped his head off". I tried to tell him that I was trying to insult the lawyers on the board, but I am not sure he believed me.

              I guess I am going to have to start using emoticons more often.

                LOL. I'm trying to envision you ripping anybody's head off. I can't imagine it, but please do keep us posted. :-)

                  Thanks. That makes me feel better.

                      He's sensitive when he streaks? That's another problem for certain runners altogether.

                        Absolutely.

                          I would do it just for kicks...but, not by this Saturday. I've got plans for my riding already scheduled out..which doesn't include a 25 mile time trial!

                          Maybe if you set the date out there sometime...we could all do it at various times before then. Post a pic of our computers.

                          Reading all the shennanigans on here, you'ld best lay out some basic guidelines...say, mostly flat etc...if not...I'm just gonna draft behind Lebowski down I-80 from Park City and not stop until I get to the SLC airport!

                          Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.

                            I like the pic idea. I'm disinclined to keep changing the rules mid-game so I'll stick with the original plan. I'd love for you to throw out the next challenge though. I'm sure you have better ideas than I do--I wanted to do something simple to get the ball rolling and work the kinks out.

                            As for flat, we have the limitation on elevation loss already, and I figure you have to climb in order to go downhill. I frankly don't care if you draft for this one--someone has to do the work for you to be able to draft.

                            Thanks for the feedback.

                              You people crack me up. Nobody has a prayer of beating PAC's wife so you may as well forget it.
