Peggy we're going to be extra motivated just to keep up with you! I am so excited this is going to happen! While the solo race of any length can be a epic, the team is just FUN! 20 miles then rest/socialize for 3hrs / repeat. Now I regret not training more, and I coulda taken the Corsa to AL for hill/mt. workouts.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Ray, Nelson I'm very flattered ... [but] ...I think I will still be your Achilles heel. Peggy

Not "heel," but perhaps "Achille's Bra Strap"...? Grin

Go to the TTTT site and check out all the different posibilities.

Reply #21 - Jul 16^th, 2008, 2:54pm You know that three 20 mile laps per day and rest in between if necceesary doesn't seem to bad . That depend on the course. i may go down to that place soon to check out.

Peggy - you silly woman. You are certainly in the same league as we are. I'm sure I speak for Nelson when I say we've been looking forward to the opportunity to team with you since last year's TTTT.

At the moment, we still have one spot open as our team would be Peggy, Nelson and Ray. While it would be awesome if your husband (I forgot his name) Grin

could be on our team, I don't have any salary cap money, so he'll have to decide....

Steve - Please consider joining a team with Peggy, Nelson and myself for a 4 person, mixed TTTT Tejas 500 team.

Ummm...an all Bacchetta mixed 4 person team(with Peggy as my teammate)and a course record of 31 hours(set last year) for the the 500 miles-mixed team?

I like carbon fiber

Oh, just a reminder that " 'bents can't climb hills..." two photos taken during last Saturday's Plano Eastside ride:

1) At the bottom of dump hill -- I think that's Lynn, just over to the right, and Peggy's slightly behind me...

2) At the top of dump hill -- notice Peggy essentially right up there with me, and all of the riders in the previous photo are still climbing...

I suggest we declare a date, such as August 1st, as the deadline to individually commit to either ride solo or to a team. After August 1st, if not committed, those people would become free agents and should not feel guilty if joining a different team from the past. That gives everyone two weeks to decide, before becoming free agents.

Does everyone agree to this?

You can come help support the riders, no need to be cheery, just make sure their water bottles are full and the riders REMEMBER to eat.

I found it interesting at 4am, what basic things one forgets to do when out on a bicycle...
