Logan,
I agree that we will need to see who sows up tomorrow and we have 25 miles
to consider how it'll play out. It'll be fun trying though. If we need to
cut down the time, we will.
As far as you being tired, I've heard that story before. Remember, you came
into the store Tuesday and complained about how tired you were because you
did the 4 humps on Monday. If I remember correctly, you were one of 3
riders who came in first Tuesday night. Relax tonight, have your wife give
you a massage and you'll be ready to go tomorrow.
Tony

I love you Rick. Im not afraid to say it.
But I was thinking about this game, Tony, and Im not sure your numbers
are fair. 1 1/2 min is a long time especially if you put the top 4 in
the break. I cant see anyone catching the 3 or 4 of the strongest
riders with that much of a gap. Perhaps you should lower it to 45
seconds and 2 strong riders and 1 medium rider. Perhaps leaving one of
the strongest in the chase would be a good idea. That person could
then take up the slack if the pace is dropping, perhaps doing a longer/
stronger pull to give the others a chance to rest.
I guess we'll see who shows up tomorrow too. It would complicate
things if some of the HG guys showed up.
To be honest and not modest Im not sure where I will be tomorrow as
far as strength. Ive got 15 hours in this week and Im pretty damn
tired.

Setting aside the verisimilitude of your bold claim, please be cognizant
of the mutability inherent within it.
A syllogism: Rick takes hard pull; Logan takes harder pull = Logan gets
dropped.
The celerity of Rick's move proved too much for our droll youngster.
(Tony and Bert are not going to be happy with this discourse. We are
creating a climate "inimical to health", is what they are thinking, I am
sure.)
Don't worry. Fatique will take the alacrity out of us...
