YES . . . IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT:
NINE of us showed to ride in the heavy fog . . . in March
that: ERIC joined us for the entire 90 miles!
that: we found JOE after losing him last week!
that: RUSS is still trying to be like Gary Fischer with his 'stach
that: WE stayed together all the way to Knife River
that: WE were able to ride at all, after losing this part!
that: WE rode 27.6 seconds after the Mocha Moose until Tim flats
TIM: "now whatta I do?"
DAVE: "I dunno . . ."
" . . . ask Jim . . ."
ERIC: "Let's change the tube"
TIM; "hey . . . just for the heck of it, let's rip the valve stem off, and do it again!"
ERIC: "yeah . . . OK . . . in fact, after we do it again, let's discover that the rim is bent . . . and won't keep the tire on"
JOE and DAVE: (note silence . . . )
that: 35 miles later . . . Joe falls asleep on his bike
(** FYI: Joe is an ornithologist and an ophthalmologist**)
(please note correct spelling of: ophthalmologist)
"the BOYS" somewhere on the 15+ mile climb from Two Harbors
