I'm still trying to picture you taking off your underwear at 25 mph....

Hubby trusts this guy because he knows him pretty well. Hubby was RIGHT THERE, flirting with me and racing with us. (HE was pretty hot last night too!)
This fellow has an excellent record or I wouldn't have been on a bike with him. His torso is enough longer than DH's that i couldnt see over his back, so what could i do? freak out or just trust. I chose trust.
The race, btw is 10 miles of a forest service road near Mt Rainier.
There is a 12% grade for about 1/2 mile up and 1 mile down, plus an assortment of less difficult hills.
After last night, I know that we are in the contention to win this thing!
There is a bathroom at Seward Park (where we turned around last night)
that's where I took off the underwear! My butt is sore where they were rubbing!

Why are there teams of 3? Where is the 3rd person?
Oil is good, grease is better.

most of the teams are 3 single bikes. the teams have to stay within 10 bike lengths of each other.
Why three to a team? Because it was someone's goofy idea for a fun ride.
The last of the team is the time that will be counted.
If i was on a single bike, I would definitely be coming in last...
we will start 1 team every 2 minutes...
