    Great report

    Congratulations!!! Yikes, sorry about the knee. I haven't a clue. Maybe you ought to check in with a doc just in case. You need those knees to keep working for you!

    CONGRATS!!!

    I'm looking at the second week in June for my first century. I'm pretty excited...and nervous. I also have not found anyone to ride with. It's soooo much easier for me to go long distance with someone. Wish me luck.

    What a Story

    Thanks for the details jo - what a neat story. waaahaaa about the knee but you finished the ride. You can be She-Ra Princess of Power for the day!! (hands Jo the She-Ra tiara). I loved the story about taking the uberbikers over on the hills. I'm was thinking you were gonna turn to them and say something like: "com'n guys...you can make it....just a little further!" and give Lee a hug and a kiss - he made it too...what a guy!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I loved the visual of this move, too! I could picture Jobob giving the ubercarbon boys "the look" like Lance gave to Jan on Alp Hudez in the 2001 Tour!

    Great job, jobob! What's the next thing on your list to conquer?

    Way to go Jobob. You sure must be proud.
    Rough about your knee. What you might want to do...sit on the floor, relax your leg straight out in front of you and move the patella around. Chances are real good the muscles pulled it a little out of proper tracking when you were showing the boys how to climb.
    Hope all returns to "normal" soon.
