I like to watch

What a difference a year makes!

I would have to rank today as one of my top 50 days of my life. Mike B. and I rode from Telmark down to Hayward and followed the Fat Tire all the way back to Cable. It was very fun. We met up with Dave Hoglund, which made it even better. What a great and beautiful ride.

Everyone seemed to have a great ride. Jay T. was as consistent
as ever and Team Thompson did great. Andy was the big surprise. He beat
three hours by a half of a minute on his single speed rigid bike. WOW!
That is simply incredible. Way to go! The three Amigos did great. Kenny
beat his personal best and I think that Bob did too. Larry S. had fun
with the short and fat. Brian E. shared a beer with us afterwards.
Thanks Mike and Dave for all the beer! Thanks to Luke for getting me a
brat too! Lots of the Loons were there and it was fun to cheer them on.


The Fat Tire is quite the spectacle and it was fun to see it as a spectator! I think I have found a new way to enjoy this race.

Oh, and at the finish I believe we witnessed something like a man walking on the moon. A single speed won the Fat Tire. People hear people say they can't do things their whole life... be careful who you say that to, they might just blow you away!
