Built for Strength, Not Speed

Chris: Occasionally I see other bikers and they zip around me with their long, lean body builds.   David reminds me that I come from sturdy Swiss German peasant stock and that i am strong.  I fail to see the advantage of that in this situation.

  3. I’m also of that stocky German build, and while I don’t have speed, I do have lots of endurance. It’s not a race, there are no time keepers, just ride your pace and enjoy the view! You can do it! Sue Schrag

  4. You are in the midst of a monumental experience; epochal I would say, that not many of us can fathom. Savor the fact that you will have memories of this event for the rest of your life. No one will even think about the time involved when it is over.
