MexicanDragon Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thank you so much, everyone, especially fitz who just made my night last night.The rain held off except for a light drizzle for half a mile, was great to to cooled off. The ride took longer than expected, and I was slower overall, but the last 9 miles I escorted one of the new-to-cycling TdC staff on the last leg of her first 25 mile ride. We met at a SAG stop and she was so enthusiastic, she brightened the entire parking lot up. Was painfully slow (literally), but she was thrilled to have a riding buddy and I was happy to help. I actually met her last night at the VIP dinner, but had forgotten.I almost turned around at the 25 mile turnaround, but I know half assing stuff isn't the Head-Case way.Such a great time. Would recommend it to a friend.Next year, the metric century.**BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Heh, they took away my women's shorts (For everyone who wasn't at the VIP dinner last night, where someone STOLE my Lynskey bike , I accidentally got Women's XL shorts instead of Men's. They took 'em away, and was supposed to get mine this morning. Well, after lots of searching, I got an IOU and they're mailing me my some stuffs.) Thanks for the words, guys. Had an AMAZING nap today It really was a good time, and I only fell once. (I ran out of gears... it's time for an 11-28 instead of a 12-25. Hills are not my friends.) I had a great time, and met a lot of really good people. A lot of the good time was due to so many of you guys stepping up big, and seriously, I REALLY appreciate it. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Awesome doesn't come close, Brent! Good on you, my friend, for doing this ride, and involving the rest of us couch potatoes. Glad the rain held off, but I'm a bit suspicious of your description of why you slowed down to ride with new girl. Just admit it, she was hawt, and you had a chance! Am I right?

MexicanDragon Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Oh, yeah, that's not it at all. She was part of the Tour committee, she was a new rider, and was the last of the 25 milers, by FAR. She had one of the motorcycle guys shadowing her for a while, but I thought it'd be nice to have a fellow cyclist with her for the last 9 miles. It wasn't a tough 9 miles, but she was doing 5-6mph. It was tough for me to ride that slowly, and I wound up standing up and coasting a bit (my saddle SUCKS, it was hurting pretty bad after the first 20, even with only about 25% feeling in the bike shorts area). Anyways, she was helping the organizers, and you should've seen the reaction the sag stop people who had seen her just 7 miles earlier. I met her at the VIP dinner last night, and she was trying to help me out with replacing my women's shorts . I actually didn't realize it was her (with her Tifosi shades), but she remembered me. She drove down from Knoxville with the rest of the crew. We had some decent chats, and her enthusiasm was just contagious. I should make a trip to Florida. You guys don't have hills, right? **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
