Double Double (via picture)

ATTN: this is the longest blog post EVER. Look at picts above and read below... OR just look at picts :) Picts below the top four thanks to COWBOY and TODD!!! You are both the awesomest awesome people ever. Yes that is gramattically correct cause i say so. Thank you!

EPIC Week: Rock Garden Endo on Tuesday - Double on Saturday. It's important to start a a double century with suitably bruised knees and thighs (knees are still swollen and it hurts to wear jeans but whatever). awesome!

Another key to finishing a double is to make sure your nails MATCH your bike. MMMMM lugged STEEL. My bike is awesome. Be jealous. (yes the scrapes on my arm are also result of said endo).

Us at the start. It was dark. This tends to happen at 5:15AM. sometimes.

The top of a climb!! GLORIOUS! mile 80 or so??

The ladies: Left rach and WV; Right: me as a bucktooth chipmunk. I'm stoked to be out and my pockets are so full of stuff like sunscreen and arm warmers (don't ask) that my jersey is fitted. oh boy!

Wellsboro: mile 100
Left: Todd and peter bein peter. Right: AWWWW the wee couple WV and Straub on their anniversary. You guys are too cute. But wait - share the love. It was OUR anniversary too WV!!!

Wellsboro - Eric and Steve rest those legs!

And then we roll out... and Jim beams! He smiled a lot and peter & I weren't even singing to him! (you're so vain!) ;)

Mile 130 or so
Broken spoke in Blackwell, time to chill on the bridge.

Left: Todd!! Who is more positive, up beat and encouraging than this guy?? And a killer climber too! Dang! Look at that view behind; Right: ahhhh beautiful.

Mile 150??
Sandwich stop! We're not tired. Nope. not tired at all. Lovin it!

Mile 180??
The best snack EVER. definitely. Yumm. Whoopie pie. yummy yumminess good yum goodness. Hence the goofy woodchuck smile. Note the stream of coke emanating mysteriously from my thigh. I didn't do it.

The boys (left to right): Allen, Cowboy lookin fierce??!!! but we're not sure why, Billy, Mac Daddy, Straub and Mr Buck... Right: Josh (who did his first century EVER this year - you are awesome man!) and Allen (also first time doing long road miles). Mountain biker? whatever dude.

Left: peter busting out his top rock. Don't laugh -- ok laugh... but i seriously wouldn't have been on this ride without this dude. good peoples! Right: no comment. But more good peoples! Cowboy!

The end!!! 210 miles! Right: me smiling cause we rocked it and are rolling into town!!! (nice shot cowboy!)
