    I wasn't joking about the last thing on the list.

    It's the whole comparision thing. Why do we do that? Ride your ride and enjoy it. Get as good at it as you want to get. But don't feel like you have to be like someone else.

    I ride so much because I'm an insane lunatic, who actually likes the way my body feels at mile 150. I learned to do my mechanical stuff, because I ride alone A LOT - even on a big ride I'm alone. Does that make me a better rider? No - just crazier and I need to be self sufficient.

    BTW I have never passed Thom on his motorcycle. It was three other guys that I have passed on three different rides. Yes, I'm counting.

    During the DMD, Robert and I had to REALLY work to catch you on that long stretch of road with a few twists. We were on an 1800cc motorcycle. And you were on.... Fluffy!

    We have an intercom system on the bike, so we can talk to each other. When we were chasing you down, Robert said, "Man, she's haulin' a$$"!
