A Challenge!

Jeffrey Steele. He's a successful songwriter in Nashville, TV host and multi-millionaire. But he's also an avid mountain biker and a good friend of Karleen's. He had the nerve last night to suggest that triathletes and roadies are a big bunch of "weenies". Since I know he comes to Sundance every summer for their songwriters series, I told him to put his money where his mouth is. Squaw Peak, high noon. Well, actually 10am would work better but that's beside the point. He said he'd be waiting at the bottom with band-aides for me. I told him to get used to the bottom he'd be spending a lot of time there. He gave me all the specs on his expensive mountain bike. I gave him some suggestions for a motor that would fit on his gigantic frame. He said it's on. I have until June. The biggest thing I have on him is that his bike weighs 10lbs more than my carbon frame road bike. Now I just have to get a lot stronger... this guy is a lot of fun, but he's going down.

  1. So, are you racing downhill? I wish I was there to see it. Good training!

  2. No! Up hill on a really tough ride! I'm excited and scared out of my wits.
