You should try 6 gap or Mt. Mitchell. I have yet to do either but they are on the list...

 

^ I understand that, during the regular Century ride, the organizers will not allow a newbie to do the 100 miler because it's too tough. I love spending a week riding in N.C. It's some of the best training. Last year I did a long ride at an altitude of up to 11,000 feet in the Rockies. That's a different sort of pain.

 

Different kind of pain? As in suffucation? A buddy of mine is riding the Rockies this year and tried to talk me into it, but with no altitude training I chose to pass...

 

Who died and appointed you registration Nazi?
I may or may not go as well, I didn't register for similar reasons, my wife and I have work schedules which had us likely unable to go more than 1 month out, I'f I'd known that someone was volunteering to pay our full registration fees on the off chance that we both might be able to bend our schedules enough to make it I would have gladly taken them up on the offer.

 

Wait.... I'm not allowed to f--k with Bandiscoot anymore??

Holy shit, calm down Captain.

 

Maybe a winky or smiley next time to indicate that you are joking and not just being a prick? (see how easy that was?)

 

I put a smiley... I used this one:

 

Let's just say that it's easier than you think to cough up blood in high altitude riding.

 

i'd like to get a 'smilie' that uses the old northern, 2-arm 'f-you' symbol


but, be sure to check your pillows once you're up there jk
