Spinning Away
I rode again for a major charity event, the MS-150 and unlike last year, I was able to finish the ride. This year I switched teams and rode with the KB Team, which was definately a better experience for me.

What else did I learn from this year?
01. Never leave your car keys with Kelly. She likes to leave them in the car... while its running.

02. If the team leader says to be at the registration booth at 6a, you know darn well no one shows up til 6:30a.

03. No matter what anyone says, energy gels taste absolutely nasty.

04. The Rio Forge was definately a good investment.

05. Dont race another team that likes keeping the pace at 18mph. You may outrun them for awhile, but they eventually catch up, especially when you are by yourself.

06. Anyone that rides 80 miles in a day, then makes the comment I need to go for a run really needs to be slapped.

07. Road kill smells terrible, but nothing can compare to the scent of skunk, armadillo, and wild boar.

08. If you ever need to get a tooth removed, just ride over broken roads or cobblestones and shake that tooth loose.

09. The one downside to doing an event like this is getting the leg cramps 6 hours afterwar... ow! ow! ow!

10. I need to stop taking that extra day off to recover. Apparently, the sky falls at the office when I'm not around because two people on my own team have to send emails back and forth instead of getting up and walking the 20 feet to talk to each other.
