OMG, how long can you hold a wheelie? Mine certainly don't last long enough for the front wheel to slow down!

You suppose we can get Slantz to add a column for number of wheelies per ride?

I was refering to your wheelie skill, dear! Actually, I'm not good at holding them for long, but I am good at teaching them...on a mountain bike. heehee I taught 2 newbies to wheelie for a pedal stroke after 5 minutes of instruction. I cracked the code!

Namaste,

(but I am seriously out of practice and do need to practice both wheelies and jumps!)

The code -- that's truly what it is. When you find that sweet combo of power stroke and position

Jumps -- with my wrist injury, I'm being a good girl. I didn't even attempt air once while we were in Oregon last month. Unlike Smurf, I kept it on the ground on my favorite ditch crossing. I even slowed down on Phil's Canyon to be sure it wasn't just a reflex. Sniff, it was so painful to be the little old lady bringing up the rear.

Mom - re the mile, but of course! My first century was on a tandem in horrible winds. Geez, we were in pain at the end. I think it was 2 laps around the parking lot before the odometer clicked over to 100 and we could officially cross the line.
