Broken fingers are very bad news. They generally do not grow

It seems to me that bumps on the joints of the little fingers
nearest the nail are the sign of a bicyclist who knows where
the limits of his bike are.


Hey Andre - last Tuesday I exceeded 100,000 ft of climbing for
the year. To celebrate I did another 2,500 yesterday.


Just 71k here; there isn't much in the way of extended climbing
around northern Indiana.

There were many times of this year where I wondered if I even had 71,000 feet of horizontal riding, let alone vertical.


My son's friend and former teammate did 30,000 feet in one day -- twice in a season. https://www.facebook.com/universityo...54519895920636 So, he did about 63,000 feet of climbing in two rides. His elevation for the year was over a million feet of climbing, but I forgot the exact number. It was freakish. It's easy to rack up elevation in SLC because the canyons are the best places to ride. Everybody climbs -- old ladies on tricycles doing 12% and knocking out 400 watts. It's crazy!
