    Anyone doing it? Either the race or the Challenge ride?

    challenge ride, the Saturday races conflict with the DC Donut Crawl. ;)

    I have to do the Challenge again this year, because apparently it’s actually a race?

    There are all kinds in this world.

    I am in and it seems my sore back signed up too. It plans to follow right behind me for the whole ride demuring its time in the wind.

    That was hilarious. I love that he drafted you for the last 4 miles and then sprints to “win” [the non-competitive charity ride] :)

    I’m doing the Mexicali Blues Breakfast race at about 9 am ish on Saturday. It’s a challenge to have a good breakfast while watching all those young’uns sweat.

    I think the retribution was something along the lines of his local Strava KOMs being taken away.

    I’ll be doing the Challenge Ride for the first time (also first time doing any sort of timed event other than the “if you take a full day to do 50 miles we’re all going home without you” group rides). My goal is to get a silver medal (4 laps but I will try for 5), but who knows what will happen after reading that story :P

    Remember, this is only supposed to be a ride where fat guys like me are supposed to feel good about themselves, Don’t go Carboning it all up! You have plenty of other events to make me depressed ;)

    Wait, I thought that was the other article from today about riding to work every day for a whole week yet still looking fresh like a fashionista (or in my case, fashionisto?). Oh well, I’ll still draft off him and hope that my make-up (sunscreen) and hair (buzz-cut) still look good after the ride :)
