yep, he's going for the Triple Crown this weekend...I'm riding the Lighthouse Century and he's riding the Trail of Two Forests... 200+ miles with 13000ft climbing I believe...

it IS great having this in common with him... it has certainly brought us closer... his wife is not into cycling at all, so having me into it (and vice versa) gives him someone to call and talk to about all sorts of cycling issues... we talk every couple days now... we've always been close but cycling has really added to it!

he does ride with a group but they're an unofficial club only...

next year he's going for some the 1000 club... the 5 doubles in a year... I can't imagine that it'll be an issue for him... he just keeps getting stronger... I swear I have to draft him now to keep up... I distinctly remember TEACHING him how to draft! LOL

LLB- I am encouraging him to write about what he has accomplished and send it in to Bicycling Magazine... fingers crossed he does it and they add it in their magazine!
