Yeah, apparently, the cyclists don't seem to mind the asterisk next to their lead. They're used to that kind of thing.Originally posted by The_Tick View PostAt least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I have a theory that the biking ratio works in favor of the bikers. Faith isn't running today, so she can run longer tomorrow, so I'm going to go hop on the mountain bike with Faith's Garmin and see if these ratios are really fair.Originally posted by ERCougar View PostComment

If we gave Arch a 1:1 ratio for all his events... and made him a self made team by himself...he might win it!"Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."

I'm not sure. South Central might count as rough terrain, but not too steep. See ya'll in a couple hours!Originally posted by YardTime View PostComment

I hate to break it to you runners, but our total does NOT include Archaea's insane output.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I am firmly in the camp that Arch shouldn't count. This is a CUF challenge for registered members.
That said. Dude is a machine."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Yes...having Arch on our team pretty much equates to an automatic "W". The man in a machine...totally in a different league.
But, as noted above...his totals are not being counted as part of the "Cyclist totals". (darn...too bad!)"Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."

I was hoping to do a really long ride today...but, as I woke up, I had a "creekster moment". I turned on the TV whilst watching breakfast, and obviously...turned it to the Tour de France and so began my captivated morning.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
First, it was: I'll just finish my breakfast...then, it was, I'll just put my feet up on the couch...next it was, pillows positioned for an encampment to watching the finish...to falling back asleep on the couch! (I missed the finish mind you, and woke up for the podium awards! DOH!)
Dang it!
Ended up leaving really late, totally got sapped by the heat.Last edited by Borg; 07-18-2009, 08:35 PM."Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."

My wife said she would participate as a runner if that is ok with everyone.
For myself I rode over 30 miles today and officially bonked for the first time. Too hot with no food is bad.Comment

I put in a leisure 12.42 miles on the mountain bike. I could have ridden that thing all night, but it got dark and I don't have lights.

I entered 6.5 miles today, but I feel like I should get credit for another 3/4 mile, as the 6.5 miles came on a hike to the South peak of Mount Olympus in the SLC Valley (I have been in SLC for the last few days for my cousin's wedding) where I gained almost 5,000 feet going up.
When I was in second grade I attended Hill View elementary school in Murray and we had a lovely view of this mountain from our playground. I vowed to myself then that someday I would climb that mountain. More than 40 years later I finally did it. This was a bucket list sort of thing for me.
The climb up was actually not too hard, but for the last .1 of a mile, which is pretty much straight up, requiring the use of both hands for a good part of it. Coming down was a bear for my nearly 50 year old knees; much, much worse than going up (my theory is that my bike riding makes my quads good at pushing down, which makes going up easy, but makes lifting up not as strong. I got to the summit in less than three hours but took much longer coming down.
The climb is 6.5 miles (round trip)with an elevation gain of 4,920 feet from the trail head. Any of you in SLC or the area should definitely do this climb sometime. If you go, go early in the morning as the bottom half of the climb is exposed and the sun is not kind inthe afternoon. But the views from thew top are spec-stinkin'-tacular. A couple of shots below (I forgot my camera so these were taken with my blackberry)
This is the view from the top of the south peak. I am standing on the edge of a sheer clif that is the chasm between this summit and the north peak, which is below:
It is really cool to see this as it is onyl about 300 yards away from the south peak, but it looks like you could reach out and touch it.Last edited by creekster; 07-19-2009, 12:22 AM.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment
