Cycling Challenge #1

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

THus we see how the runner's mentality induces him to improper methods.

I may and try and get mine in after work in the 100 degree heat just so I have an excuse.

Good idea. If it makes you feel better, I expect to bring up the rear on this challenge and make everyone look really good. Hopefully seeing what you all can achieve will give me motivation to get better.

[BigPiney]

Here come the excuses: 93 degrees and Wind Speed: SE 17.3 MPH

Rode into a headwind all the way out and let it push me home.

25.02 miles in 1:24:11 for a 17.8 mph avg. I am beat.

Apparently Archaea clocked in at 59:47.

He's an animal. How come he doesn't post over here?

I assume out of loyalty to mike.

He asked me to submit his time and apologize that it's a little slower than he'd like.

Tell him it won't count unless he makes an account and posts the time himself. Otherwise, I am going to make an entry for Lance Armstrong.

well, that's what I figured, too. That's why I wasn't going to post his time, but BBB said it was okay (it is, after all, her contest).

Anyway, I imagine you can tell him yourself. If he found out about the challenge he has to be reading the thread, right?

I am kidding. I spoke with him last night on the phone. Had I known he was going to enter a time I would have given him a hard time about it.

Arch is a mutant... We should be watching him on VS right now in France.

[Borg]

Well...with a name like "beelzebabette"...I figured I'd better ride 25 miles today...she might have strong links to the underworld, and that frightens me.

So...out I went. If there is some kind of jersey for the most idiotic route to do this thing on...I get it. Maybe a jersey with a pic of a kid on a stool, facing the wall with a dunce cap on.

Took the Jordan River trail today, wasn't even a 25 mile distance, so I'm looping back, stopping, starting...stupid. Should have just went out around Utah Lake...at least it's long and flat.

25 miles
17.5 average
33.1 max
Total time: 1 hr. 25 min 11 sec

It is what it is folks.

Let's just say I very much lost my own challenge. Time for awards:

BigPiney wins the CUFer award (and might I add how impressed I was at how close you and The Borg were at the finish?)

The Archaea (overall) prize goes, of course, to Archaea

[BigPiney]

I'll take it and wear it with pride.
