A few offline comments and emails indicated that some people thought I and our group were obnoxious and arrogant in boasting about beating a bunch of century riders. That's a completely incorrect interpretation. First of all, anybody out on a bike is a hero and deserves kudos, be they racer, century rider, commuter, or whatever. Second, the Solvang "race" is just normal group-ride training between friends and it's our inside joke that it's a competition. Nothing more.Marco Fanellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747163770738442254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-15982097507175979572010-03-20T21:59:45.648-07:002010-03-20T21:59:45.648-07:00Mark:

It's not how fast you ride. It's how many ableskivers you eat, and whether or not you think the Melville Carrie's is better than Foley's Pommard clone.<br /><br />Next year, you should fill your water bottles with wine and join the Freds in a fine outing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-45019787559550134072010-03-19T14:43:28.522-07:002010-03-19T14:43:28.522-07:00Ah, we Freds see its all in good fun, and a faired...Ah, we Freds see its all in good fun, and a faired lime green recumbent would wipe you tuff guys out anyways. You are a sociological and athletic phenomenon using outdated technology, sort of like Apaches and Samurais.<br /><br />Great, great sketches, THANKS. You're the only one I've read who sensed that shifting wind/vortex. So it took me 2 hours longer than you, but the ride down Foxen and Ballard was just as glorious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-10326869835782135722010-03-16T20:30:28.222-07:002010-03-16T20:30:28.222-07:00Dumbass -
