Country:  | Good to hear your back in the saddle Erich.
How long did the ton take to do?
When I used to race long distance they used to put up signs with are local champions time in order to inspire us. Andy Wilkinson 12hrs 300miles/24hrs 525miles and Lands end to John O'Groats 41 hours 4 mins and 22 secs. We were also reminded that we were mere mortals at short distance with another local hero Chris Boardman doing an unofficial 17.5 mins for 10miles. Raced against both these guys(actually one of Chris's old Hotta's) On all occasions they made me feel like a pedastrian as they steamed past. Even when Wilko was on his mountain bike with pannier racks he still could post a 56 for 25miles.
With all the long distance rides we wont be seeing another American wearing yellow this year will we?

Country: | too long for me 7 hrs on the button for 103. I was feeling it in the ribs and the right hand plus a 20mph headwind for at least 40 miles going back which really stomped us badly. I still had an ok 14.5 mph avg, nothing to scream yee haw about but beats a measley 10mph or slower. this was a private showing, you bring the goodies type of ride no sag support and not organized, just some good friends out to get sunburned and enjoy the views.
semi organized club ride this upcoming Sunday to 50 miles 1/2 of it hills, so the bike is getting some things fixed up due to the previous crash in the shop......... thanks for asking guys, pics to follow in short time

yee haw | Hope you're doing better. And I also hope you didn't wait too long to seek
medical attention to the right hand. I think we can all handle spandex.

I just got off the phone with Erich, and we chatted for about ten minutes.
He took a nasty fall, and most of his right side is messed up one way or the other.
He sounded in good spirits, and time is on his side. He will heal, it will just
take time. I did remind him he's not healing an 18 year old body anymore.
He's waiting for his wife to come home to take him to get stitches in his
right hand. He's going to bite the bullet and seek professional help.
He said he'd be watching the forum, but not typing too much. So here's the
place to get a message to him.
He has my phone numbers if he needs anything.
Charles | Cheese, II don't know the date of the post, but ehen you talk to him again, wish him my best! | |
