WHEN DOUG SAYS:
> I had a nice ride with the group on Saturday. That was the 2nd longest
> ride that I've ever been on......last week's 76 mile ride remains my
longest yet.

HE MEANS:
You guys were out? I was too busy at the front to notice. At some 62
miles, I was barely getting warmed up. What gives with the short rides?

WHEN DOUG SAYS:
> I stayed close to the front for the majority of the ride,
> I actually pulled a few times. I got a few pointers from some of the
> riders in the group, I'm always looking to improve so I take most
> advice to heart.

HE REALLY MEANS:
Drafting is girls. Some of the keen advice I received was that it's
considered poor form to pass tractor trailers and crotch rockets.

WHEN DOUG SAYS:
> I fell behind at the 17/98 crossing.....

HE REALLY MEANS:
I stopped for coffee and biscottis at the little shop at the
intersection of 98/17.

HE REALLY MEANS:
Service was slow, they had to brew a fresh pot.

WHEN DOUG SAYS:
> From there, myself and 2 other guys pulled away just a little and
> finished strong.
HE REALLY MEANS:
The wheel suckers were just along for a ride on the Doug Express. Next
stop, Kenilworth Lodge. All aboard!

WHEN DOUG SAYS:
> My computer was down,
> but one of the guys I finished with said we averaged 22mph for the 100k.
HE REALLY MEANS:
I pegged the speedometer and the heat from my tires fried my computers
wires. I know it's wireless! I meant the internal circuitry! The cop
who pulled me over for speeding, said was averaging 22 mph ...... over
the 35 mph speed limit.

WHEN DOUG SAYS:
> Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to ride with a big group of
> people. It was a beautiful day and I can't wait until the next time a
> big group comes to town to ride!
HE REALLY MEANS:
I'm going to smoke you guys in December during the Highlands Bike
Fest, Dec. 7-9.
