Yeah, in hindsight I think we kind of goofed up.  I stayed back with Truman after the first rest stop and we saw quite a few other folks that had popped trying to keep the early pace.   undecided
 
For the record, you guys is some fast b**ches!!  Smiley

You guys are just lucky I wasn't on my DF.    
 
Although, it does look like I missed quite an adventure with my 18 mile shortcut.    I'm sure, with a few more days like Sunday, I'll get my legs bent into shape in record time.    Cheesy

Greg - are we going to get a detailed analysis of the XS compared to other bikes you've ridden on Rando rides?
 
Quite keeping us in suspense...

Brad - don't worry .  Once you get a lighter bike, you'll be beast enough.  I'm still regretting introducing Steve to bents anyway, since he'll be the fastest guy in Texas once he gets his bent legs.
 
Ray - I thought you were coming to this Shindig?  I was all set to let you ride the bike yourself.   I'm going to leave off comparisons until I have some more long rides under my belt, but initial reports are very favorable!

I'm not worried at the least.   A new frame set is already ordered and I have a soft commitment on selling the C.G.     Now begins the waiting process.  With the 650c wheels in the mail to me, I'm pretty sure I have everything I need to finish it out.

Greg = I was a last minute cancellation; family commitments.
 
I will be at the 100k this Sunday.  I think the Petty's are coming as well.  
 
Nelson - any chance you could ride the 100k this Sunday?

Doesn't look good for me to be there, fresh back in town with family, work, and church commitments galore!  Have fun for me!
 
Take Care,
Nelson.
