Re:May 28 ride 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
It was great meeting some long time biking guys. I learned so much!

1. I want to be stupid (iron butt events)
2. Cattle roam free in Ohio, but are fenced in Missouri.
3. Rain gear is GOOD in a rainstorm.
4. 40 million golf grips are replaced every year in the US. (Ironman is the expert).
5. If you smooze the hotel clerk upon check-in, you can get a trucker's rate (she just required attending a training class).

....and so many good laughs!
