2nd annual 100 miles of Nowhere for Team Fatty

[Pedal Wench]

Once again, I do like the way you think, PW. I thought seriously about signing up (if only to get the great swag ) but then I decided against it - I didn't want to jinx my return to cycling.

But this is a great idea. And many TE'ers are participating in Livestrong Challenges throughout the country - any little bit helps. Just sayin'

Thanks, Jo!

Bummer- I missed it. Oh well, I'll still do it anyway. I'll just send the Livestrong foundation the registration fee and not get any sweet swag (maybe I'll find some stuff laying around my house, put it in a bag and give it to myself).

I'll still do it (and I talked a friend into doing it with me) and it'll still be fun. We're going to set our trainers up in my backyard, and alternate riding the trainers and riding a one mile loop in my neighborhood for an hour each. Interval training.
Every now and then we'll stop for a nap in the hammock in the shade, and we'll have a bbq afterward.

TG, you should post on the fatcyclist page that you're still doing it - I think Fatty would be thrilled to know that it's extending beyond the registered riders.

Thrills me, and it's not my ride!

Oh my, what a cool idea. Unfortunately:
1) I missed the sign-up (note to self: must keep up with TE posts!)
2) The date is in my rest week when I'm not supposed to ride at all before the ALC.
3) Not any time left to sell this idea to my spin instructors.
So ... I guess LiveStrong gets $50 from me too, and I pitch this idea to the gym for next year. We could have two options -- either indoors on spin bikes, or outdoors going round and round the little traffic-practice "streets" at the elementary school just up the road from the gym. (I'll send pics when I have a chance to take some.) Sweet. I know I'm not gonna do the ALC again next year, but this'll give me something to train for.

I got my stuff! I've decided to make a day of it. There was a 300K the same day that I really wanted to do, so I'm gonna try to do a 300K to nowhere. We're riding laps in the parking lot around the local race track. If I can keep my sanity, I'll aim for a full double century, but not sure about that.

110 miles - 2.2-mile laps around the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Rain, irritating shorts, bad winds, and I thought that 110 miles was more than enough!

My DH and I set up our tandem on the trainer (no resistance!) at a local park. We wore our full Team Fatty kit (jerseys, socks, water bottles) and had placards, handouts about Lance Armstrong Foundation and Team Fatty, and fund raising cards. We covered the first 33 miles very fast (no resistance - and at our quick rest stop discovered that we had a flat rear tire which had made it really easy). By mile 100 we felt the way we normally feel at the end of a century (where's the beer?).

I'm pretty sure we won the tandem division ...Fatty pretty much guaranteed that all participants could declare themselves the winners of some division or other. We are fighting cancer and will be riding with Team Fatty in Austin.

Win Susan!

Very well done PW!

And you too (two?) Jacklyn!
