Apparently the heat wave covers quite a bit of the US. Consequently, there are some recent postings by UMCA/RUSA members with invaluable tips for riding in the...
Haven't heard much chatter concerning who's riding the 600k tomorrow. I've supplemented my training by sleeping over a bed of hot coals and I'm hoping I don't...

JoeRay and I saw JD at the 3 mountain ride. He was interested in doing Siler City express this weekend. Anyone want to do that? Also does anyone have JD's...
Ouch, Gary, I know that's gotta stink to be so close, but I don't think anybody would say there's any shame in throwing in the (sweat soaked) towel on this...
