I wish I would have had things work out a little better and would have been able to stay up with you guys, but recognizing it was a futile fight, I just decided to pull the plug and battle on another day. Sometimes that's just what you've gotta' do, as you know...<br /><br />Happy birthday brother.

The friendships that this race originates are everlasting. The race was completely brutal and Hellmut commented that it seemed like we had not ridden our bikes in months. I am glad to hear you had no mechanicals as that always worries me. I hope to hook up with all you guys for a ride soon. It was a memorable experience.<br />thank you,<br />Ari and Hellmut<br />Slender Fungus Cycling AssociationArihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083766829086663770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363469860585321905.post-91388739079124217942010-04-26T21:52:14.386-05:002010-04-26T21:52:14.386-05:00Great job this weekend and excellent write up.

You guys rode an awesome ride in the face of insurmountable odds, and yes, I agree, "The beauty of the Trans Iowa lies in the fact that it just might be so difficult that no one will be able to complete it." <br /><br />Thanks for the write up. Have a great 2010 and I hope to see you ride again!Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363469860585321905.post-22147342626037209802010-04-26T15:54:32.871-05:002010-04-26T15:54:32.871-05:00Bravo Old Man....bravo!!!!

Thank you for sharing your perspective.<br /><br />You have NO IDEA how much better I feel about having not made it on time to the first checkpoint! I spent the afternoon on the "ride-of-shame" headed back to Grinnell wondering about my own level of preparedness.<br /><br />This year was a monster!<br /><br />Good to read the perspective from one of the "top guys" to know I wasn't alone in feeling "worked over" in so few miles.Reflector Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476632080737052238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363469860585321905.post-22902795643903502752010-04-26T12:13:14.481-05:002010-04-26T12:13:14.481-05:00Excellent write up.
