I vote for doughty.

Sorry, but I'm going to nix that one. It's pronounced nearly the same as dowdy. Can you imagine?

"Wow, that was a doughty ride!"
"Oh, that bites, I've been luck enough to never have a dowdy ride."
"What?!? You've never really had a doughty ride? Sucks for you!"
"You dowdy woman! What the heck are you talking about?"
"Gee, thanks, but I'm not sure I deserve that compliment."
"Never mind. Let's talk about baseball."

LOL! Good laugh w/ my morning coffee!

Maybe there are varying degrees of an "epic" or "super" ride (date, day, adventue, etc). Like a spectrum. Not that I know what it would be. But "super" feels like it was more middle of the road.

Great, fun, wow, super, awesome, ah man killer!

That is how I think of it...(again, not sure I have ever had "epic"--maybe pretty darn close, but not the pinnacle of rides/adventures. I like to think there is more and even better to come!)

Bummer! I LOVE "Epic Fail". I go looking for reasons to use that one. Now it's passe? *sigh*

I'm not using super instead of epic until there are epic feminine hygiene products. And as far as that goes, nothing tops "overnight."

Hmmm.....so it could go something like this: "Today's ride was only a little epic, but last Saturday's was WAAAYYYY epic! Yesterday, well, that was barely epic at all. It was short, flat, slow, and wasn't even scenic - boring, really." I like it!

I may just cling to epic for everything in my life! Like my epic summer of sitting on my butt, with a broken ankle. I did have an epic 10 minute warmup on the stationary bike before PT yesterday.

Oh - and I am very pleased to say that I have never required epic feminine hygiene products!

No.
It goes like this
"Today's ride was mega but last weeks rider was super mega!"

[roadie gal]

No.
It goes like this
"Today's ride was mega but last weeks rider was super mega!"

[lph]

No.
It goes like this
"Today's ride was mega but last weeks rider was super mega!"

Zen, you did that on purpose!

[Zen]

No.
