RIde for 2-21-09
Riders,
It’s official, I finally got “that” monkey off my back. On ST, they say it didn’t happen if you don’t have pictures… well, I have at least 4 eye witnesses should they need to testify. Here’s a thought… remember the hold TV show, Cheers?
Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows Your name.
Props to David B. for calling my name, over and over and over again as that monkey came off my back… I’m sure he did that for others too! If you're reading this, I'll tell you the monkey I had to get off my back was the Myrtle Beach Marathon! It took me forever, but I finished. David B. was there riding support for his wife. I saw him early in the run, but didn't recognize him without his Race Kit on. When he passed me on mile 14, the sound of the freewheel was like a siren calling to me... I said something and he looked over and called my name... HA!!! So, every mile from mile 14 to mile 26, David would be at the marker calling my name... that gave me a wave of encouragement that I was able to ride mile after mile... So, props to David B for saving my marathon!!! NO KIDDING!!!
And props to Meredith B, Jeff D, Arden S, Mikey C and Juergen Z for a great run at the Myrtle Beach FULL marathon! Just a note, this was Arden's second marathon in 4 weeks!!!

Props to TT-Bob who placed 4th in his age group at the Tundra Time Trial in Atlanta. And he place very high overall, competing against some 350 other TT experts!!!
There’s a lot of talent among this group… and I’m glad you guys share what you’re doing… it gives me inspiration to get back out there and R I D E…
Speaking of riding, it’s that time again. A group of riders will meet in the parking lot of New Spring Church on Saturday in Anderson to ride. We leave at 0900 sharp. And after many weeks of cutting the ride short, I’m planning on a naughty ride… I’m going “all the way”!!!! It’s time to get back to a sense of normalcy… if that can happen!
Of note, my home computer had to be replaced a few weeks ago… Over the past 2 weeks, I found out that I was missing 2 addresses on this list… so, I’m making corrections as I’m notified… so, if some of your riding buddies aren’t getting the notice, and the want to.. let me know and I’ll add them to the group..
If this is your first ride notice… our route is about 44 miles… with an overall average speeds of about 16+mph…(some riders go MUCH faster… cuz they train all year). There are a few “sprint zones” just to keep things fun. We stop 3 times to regroup. Come ready to ride.
