Hey fellas, Thought I'd share my final 2008 cycling schedule (the Tour de Fat) with you. Everything kicks off a week from Saturday in beautiful Moab, Utah. What a killer accomplishment if I can complete it, with killer being the operative word. 500 pounds sure seems a long time ago.  Pretty   indeed! Boner

Boner, I am impressed.  To even attempt such a feat is incredible.  I am sure you will finish the entire tour in fantastic fashion.  What an inspiration you are to all of us.  I read your "5 F's" for life the other day and was very impressed with them also.  Seems you have you life going in the right direction.  I know, none of us have perfect lives, but yours is truly an inspiration to me and many of the men on this forum.  Congrats and keep up the good work.  I will be pulling for you on your tour this year!!!!!!!!

Good deal man.  That's hella intense.  Best of luck!   Especially with that Rocky Mountain event!   That should be a *****!  ;)

My tri schedule is shaping up to look like yours.   The longest course I'm doing is for the Gulf Coast Tri (Half-Ironman distance) which has a 56 mile bike.   (Well that is if I don't get in the lottery for Kona.;) )   It's all flat though.   I wouldn't really know what do with hills since I still haven't figured out my gears!  :)   I mainly concentrate on swim and run when I know I should be spending more time on my bike.

  Be sure and wear an OH t-shirt or cap on the rides!   (maybe you could get them as a sponsor?   &;-) )   (oh wait, do we HAVE any OH t-shirts or caps anymore? ..  don't think so .  &:-/)  )
