I slacked-off in 2011 ~ gained a little over 10# ~ worked way too much!
For 2012 ~ I purchased a Concept2 Rower, and entered a January Challenge. I’m signed-up for yoga and hockey for Q1 2012, and will spin 1-2x per week. I’ve entered two tri-athlons for June; Run, bike, kayak (no swimming) Purchased a 17′ sea kayak, and will train when the ice breaks up. Hoping to make TOSRV, RAGBRAI, DALMAC and other big rides, and may climb Mt. Whitney in 2012
OK now . . . I’ve made it public ~ now I’ve got to do it!!
I have the jersey you were looking for. 2010 XXL. Since I got a little sarcastic on our recent discourse about music on RAGBRAI, I will make amends by sending you the jersey if you send me your E-Mail.
In 2012 I resolve to ride BRR and RAGBRAI — every inch of the way on each event. I also resolve to ride an average of 10 miles per day (3660 miles over the course of the year); although considering the other demands on my time that may be a bit more than I can manage — but it’s still a target at which I can aim. And I resolve to commute to work using my bike at least twice a week. -“BB”-
Years ago, while pedaling x-country, I met a British couple (also riding x-c) in Missouri. To my eye (looking at their “gear” and their “kit” and the cigarettes they were smoking atop each hill), they seemed terribly ill-prepared for the journey. They, however, were enjoying one of the more memorable trips of their life, having a wonderful time of it all.
We rode together to Washington, D.C..
On the evening before we parted, David gave me what I now consider some of the best advice I’ve ever received.
“No expectations, therefore no disappointments,” he told me.
I quit smokin today, and will ride 1500 miles before ragbrai and will lose 10 lbs before ragbrai bringing total weight loss to 35 lbs in 3 years, ALL because of ragbrai

Hey, Iceman,

I think of those words often.
