RR: Morning Ride Lights Needed

Bill Wheeler · 2005-09-21T02:14:13+00:00

Been too long. Hope everybody is doing well. I personally feel GREAT! Yes, yes, yes. SS, SS, SS. That's right not much has changed in my ways. The ole SS is just as good as it was when I got it. This was my first fall ride and I have been off the MTB for practically the entire summer (due to other racing that I can't mention here because Slackman hates when I do that. So out of respect for my MTB brother I won't mention the 4 Triathlons and one 1/2 IM I did this summer) What a feeling just knowing that I was going to hit the trails in the early morning. Yes, I have lights now. I love them, just a pair of 5 bulb LED miniatures. Hey they do the trick but I wouldn't recommend them for full night riding. I saw what I thought was a fox but it who know it could have been La Cuprachabra or something. I got webbed continuously (Damn I HATE THAT!) I fell twice. I dabbed numerous times. In short I had a blast! I rode for about an hour before I had to call it quits and get ready for work. It felt good to be back in the saddle.

I'd thought of that, but what's the difference between that and the tri's
he's already doing? Unless he was referring to a trip to Kona.

Idaho Marathon? Indian Maiden? Ignorant Moron? Indoor Mastication?
Inquiring minds want to know...
1/2 of an Ironman
1.2 mile swim, 56 mile ride, 13.1 mile run.
My other Tri's were Olympic and/or International distances (these are
the most common.
1 mile swim, 25 or so ride. 6.2 run.
A sprint is usually .75 mile swim, 18 - 19 mile ride, 3.1 run
IM 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile ride, 26.2 mile run. (on my list)

That's where Lance started out, winning tri's. We've got several of these
half I-M's in the nw, but I've never gotten my swimming down well enough to
give it a shot. G-Man (weht?) was a tri-athlete before converting to the
Wheeler Religion...😉
