Bruce takes the KOM jersey since he used a 39/25 and rode every climb.I don't know if I could have managed it myself.<BR/><BR/>Darren, I like how we "weren't racing, just going our own pace." And I seem to remember you saying, "Hey let's take turns pulling up to the look-out" on Gambrill road and as soon as I pulled you up to the look-out you slung-shot around me....I felt so used.

I felt that Harp was a little more trying than Hamburg, but I agree about Coxey Brown: it's murder at the end. But that downhill after that (and after Hamburg) is pure bliss!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327309509923084470.post-27098454464384783262007-07-16T16:23:00.000-04:002007-07-16T16:23:00.000-04:00By the way, I love that we are your "rivals."We ar...By the way, I love that we are your "rivals."<BR/><BR/>We are totally going to steal your mascot and TP your houses during Homecoming.<BR/><BR/>BIKE LANE RULZ!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327309509923084470.post-85621340925340743802007-07-16T16:03:00.000-04:002007-07-16T16:03:00.000-04:00Love those downhills!

My altimeter, which always seems to under-report elevation, said 8,500ft, but BBC swears it's 9800ft. It felt like at least that much. Thanks for waiting at the top for the pedal-masher, Sir Spinsalot.<BR/><BR/>-BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
