it would take me about 12 days if I could manage to ride 100 miles a day
without hitting any serious elevation. ;) Besides, I generally do not participate
in races unless they are for charity or work related. Primarily I ride for
utilitarian reasons. As far as visiting with the Texas Groopies, wouldn’t
it make more sense for you guys to come up to visit me in PA, where we can hang
outside with a nice natural cool breeze rather than stay in doors and use up electricity
with the air conditioner?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
