Either that, or else he raced Cat I almost 20 years and 100 pounds ago and is just getting back into shape. I always get the details mixed up. 
He is doing great though. He has dropped 50 pounds so far, has ridden at least 10 consecutive weeks over 100 miles and does very well on fast group rides until the road gets steep. I think I may have mentioned him a couple of weeks ago in a ride report. He is lethal on the flats and downhills, and is slowly improving on climbs. |
This guy sounds just like me, really, except for the Cat I part. As I have said before, someday Arch is going to meet me and then he will feel guilty making so much fun of me. Its like jeering a kid that falls down the steps of the short bus; It might be fun, but it just isn't very nice.
