I find the humbleness of everybody here amusing. You're not fooling me. I know all of you guys are ridiculously strong.

Viking, Goose and Goose's brother are good. If Q is as good as the game he talks, you are in some good company.

I only wish I were good, but I haven't been on a group ride in several months and have only ridden with a few buddies.

I would like to bike on my good days like Viking bikes on his bad days.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm drafting the whole ULCER.

I forgot, creekster is the Meister, when he's on his game. I'm bringing a 27 year old up and coming stud as well as a 17 year old newbie, to pull me along, because reading about Q's greatness, and knowing Viking's rep has me worried I'll be dropped in the first twenty minutes (usually my weakest time).

I guess I should be concerned with hanging on somebody's wheel.

We actually want two groups.

One who for those who wish to hammer with Q, and one who wish to meander. I believe my wife will do the meandering. And then we'll meet up at the end for a dinner or something.

Again I don't know if I have time to get into shape to hammer with Almighty Q and the former pro Viking. You have no idea how fast pros can go. We got to ride with Tyler Hamilton, and he wasn't puffing at all, while we had our hearts in our throats. The difference between pro and rec is worlds apart. He probably laughed at us.

I'm definitely going to meander... although hammering it out for a while seems intriguing.. I have a lot of blind enthusiasm.. I tend not to think of the consequences when it's too late. I'm going to have to rent or check out some DVD's or something. That would be fun to watch. Hell, I'm already in awe some of the riders around here, let alone pros.

Do the rest of you guys feel like you're getting set up to be blown away by Arch? I'm taking the family to Maui the week before the ride and I plan on coming back fat and lazy. Maybe I can be like the pace setter they have in track events. I'll ride like crazy for 20 and then pull over and let you guys keep going.

Arch makes me laugh. He thinks he's fooling everybody but he's clearly sandbagging.

Well, he's not exactly subtle.
