It was indeed. Tho at the time, when he kept dropping me and zooming off into the distance, I got really mad at him. I didn't know he was going to do that much filming and not so much of the real-time conversation. At the time, I almost killed 'im. Now, I'm grateful for the video evidence!

But yes, he's a superstrong rider himself. He finished the Transrockies MTB race, consistently does well in crits, and a mere week after Deathride he's off to France for Tour l'Etape to go cruise up Mount Ventoux. Yowza. I feel like I've finally hit the point of fitness where I can just roll out of bed and ride a relatively flat century, but I have yet to get to where I can do something like Deathride with no warning, and one-handed to boot.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments! Now go write your favorite mantra on your handlebar tape (it's like a temporary tattoo)!
