I did an AIDS Ride one year from Minneapolis to Chicago...that was pretty cool...daily centuries...I was really bushed each day, I have to say, bu it worked...I think I could do it better now.

Steve, you and me so far. I think we could form a team...that would be fun...iFractal can pring for the jerseys and such...really sounds like a blast. I'm training now to run with the bulls at the start of July...and can be on track to be ready at the end of the month for RAGBRAI.

I would love to do the RAGBRAI one year but how do all theses people ride 80-100 miles every day for several days. I am tired just thinking about it.

Steve, want to do that next year? That would be super great...I know you've already done it, but it would be really great...I read about it again this year and it sounded like a rolling party...fun stuff.

Frank, now that your are working up your milage, you can come to Iowa at the end of July and join 10,000 of your closest frieds in RAGBRAI (http://www.ragbrai.org/)...I'd even pull my bike out of mothballs (or the rack on the garage wall) to join you. Heck even Lance Armstrong had such a good time two years ago that he came back and almost rode the entire six days. That is until he had to fly back to France as one of his former co-conspirators, I mean teammates was winning the Tour de (if they don't catch me it's not cheating) France.

Rick, did you notice the sponsors on that shirt? iFractal. We sponsor the Quaker city Wheelmen, a pro cycling team here in Philly. You can see it on the sleeves.

Yes, a 48Facets shirt giveaway...what a cool idea.

Charlie's shirtis great. I need more colorful bike shirts.

I should have made a 48Facets shirt for my ride next week. That would have been my quickest way to more readers.

Pax, I did. That silk on the Pax Family Singers jacket isn't exactly the most exercise-friendly, so I had a few rings of sweat on it. Yes, my Frank's shirt worked! Now I have more suckers, um, I mean, readers, than ever.

I hope you wore your Pax Family Singers jacket, and your Frank's Blog t-shirt!

Merci, that's a bummer to be stuck in traffic...I'm sure it piled up everywhere heading near the city.

Glad your trip went well...zoiks about the rain, though. It was muggy riding this morning...I hate driving in rain..sometimes can't see a thing!

Sounds wonderful!

All of those missing cars were on the Schuylkill at about 11:30 am today. After many hours of clear sailing on the turnpikes of several different states, we hit standstill traffic outside of Philly this morning. That's Philly for ya, always distinctive!

We had clear sailing in terms of traffic, I should note. In terms of weather, well, I'd say there's a lot of rain in our forecast, judging by my trip back East overnight...
