lunatics or heroes?
http://www.kaisercycling.com/
Race Across America on fixies. 3000 miles. Including some of that up and down stuff. Well rather a lot of up and down, a total of 100,000 feet of climbing. Me, I put them square in the "lunatic" camp. Zebee |

The dictionary definition of hero says "courageous" and "noble". Too stupid to know something is dangerous, and too stupid to take a bow at the end. If you live through it of course. Lunacy certainly plays a part in that. :-) While lunacy might be a prerequisite, it doesn't automatically lead to heroism. You can't be a hero without being a lunatic. But you COULD be a lunatic without ever being a hero. You need to do something stupid first. -- Linux Registered User # 302622 <http://counter.li.org> |
