Yeah, when he sets out a goal of beating someone else's mileage, that's pretty shallow.

Yeah, Giny and I rode together for a season with TNT. She's very cool and fun to ride with - super competitive. She's a good bike handler, and would have done fine under those conditions. Her ex husband owns Showers Pass, the rain gear company - he's a wacky dude and I actually learned a ton from riding with him. It was in my first year of riding, so I was a complete sponge.

Worst ride for crashes was Tucson last year. So many crashes. Mike saw a tandem endo. Visualize that.
