You may not be doing Pittsburgh's Dirty Dozen this year, but I am. And I have nominated YOU to help me train. Here's New Hartford's Dirty Dozen (or so).

Do you remember the first time you tried this route? People moved out of state.

I think they died

Danny summed it up well last week. How long have you guys been doing this (riding so many hills)? It hasn't helped any of you.

I'm leaving the state today and will return Saturday.

Don't worry guys he post routes all the time and does not show up. Then we can do any route.

Did you notice how slow everyone is going and how they fall over?

Anyone up for a secret ride out of Collinsville? ;-)

ok, but no one has puked in a long time. So there is improvement

I'll be listening to Jazz, drinking wine and thinking about ya'll

Rule #9.b) subparagraph 1 states: If you're not out riding in terrific weather, you're a candyass. Period. I am referring to myself, as I skipped yesterday's ride even when I learned there was no longer rain in the forecast.

Hmmmm - Are you speaking about yourself as last night was terrific weather and I recall you not showing up :)

I am totally referring to myself.

I'm in for this Colemanesk ride

I have had a great day, why not suffer a little tonight (what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right??)

Greg I want to train for this https://cyclingtips.com/2017/07/holy-grail-climbs-may-found-taiwan-kom/

Mike that is an epic ride. 65 miles with 11000 feet of elevation gain and all up no downhill. Not to mention the last 6 miles average 10 to 22 % grade.

Did you see that! They get medals for finishing! With a king-of-the-mountains polka dot ribbon! (Unlike the Vermont Gran Fondo, where you get a stupid pair of socks.)
