did you have a mirror on your helmet? ha ha! if you saw any skill you must have been looking at another rider..

Arch is a physcial specimen. Piney was not was I was expecting... i guess with a name like Big Piney, I was expecting someone fat. Not some thin young looking dude. and I guess I thought Viking would be different looking too, more like a potato farmer, but he was a tall athletic looking dude. now this post is starting to sound gay.

He's a blonde guy, medium build, about 5'9 to 10, 175, I would guess. He did fantastic, given he just started cycling this year. By next year, he'll be cycling like a pro.

Viking is stud.

Btw, it sounds like a poorly organized ride. Riders shouldn't be getting lost because it is poorly marked. They shouldn't be waiting at red lights. There should be policeman there directing traffic, letting cyclists through.

Just want you guys to know that the good rides aren't like this.

There was plenty of Miking. Sam, Viking and I were at the front of our little group blasting past people when an organized team came by and we all thought, great let's them do the work. Then one of theirs flatted. Another strong team came by and we decided to let them pull. Sam noted to me afterwards that after Goshen they just road away as he didn't have me to help.

So we miked whenever we could.

Great reports. Like many rides, it didn't come out the way intended or expected, but it sounds like a good expereice except, maybe, for Arch. It's probabyl bes tthat I didn't go, as I couldn't not have kept up with you guys. Maybe next year.
