Soon, my triathlon days will be here - ride, fish and sleep
what, you're not going to eat? (leave it to jobob to ask that question).

Sounds like a wonderful plan to me. I hear Bend is a great place to live.

Yep, Kim, that was the remarkably strong touring cyclist with the pink panniers (my guess, they were originally red, and either sun-bleached or deliberately bleached to pink). In fact, she was totally decked out in pink yesterday, complete with pink ribbons streaming off her pink helmet - quite the statement ! And a little stuffed moose mascot peeking out from behind her saddle. Her IF (Independent Fabrications) touring bike was not pink, though, it was a dark blue or black (she said a pink frame would be a bit more difficult to change if she ever tired of pink). In retrospect I wish I spoke to her some more when I had the chance, I'd love to know her story.
