Fusnik even considered taking up cycling for a season when he was caught up in the moment.

Spds and speedplays? Please.

I use speedplays, the best pedals in the business.

And I will take credit for urging Mike to create this forum. Not many sportsboards also have a cycling section. We are truly unique.

And I will give props to all who got it going. It keeps me coming back. There are a lot less two year old fights in this cat. than the rest of the board, and it's friendly and helpful. Basically it keeps me coming back. Now if we could only get the cycling group off the ground.

Hey, I tried to start a stimulating conversation recently and I got nothing.

well you already know I am there. I am with 1 friend. You will ditch me in the first 25 miles once the climb starts. Getting 250 up 6-8% grades is some tough work and my heart rate spikes almost instantly. We have a goal to finish under 6 hours. You are just doing the century, right? Anyway, I will try to find you again and say hi.

Not this year, its a bad weekend with school preparations and parents night (and the fact that my wife is PTA President this year). Six of us went up together two years ago and did the single. I would have been fun if my rear tire didn't delaminate at the top of the Red Canyon climb forcing me to go at half speed for the rest of the day.

I do need to redeem myself there though.

If the rumor is true that cosmo is propagating, hopefully the jerseys will be here in time so you and Coach McG can form the first ever CG team at the ride.

I intend to do the single and then maybe sixty more. Depending upon who is riding, if a newbie guy rides, we'll go his pace, if another we'll try to go fast.

Yeah, I forget to check it. We really need to organize a ride for next year though.
