"When I first heard that you were going to attempt the climb to Plateau-de-Beille (you surely shall not succeed), I thought, 'That crazy bastard could actually die on this ride.' That's when I realized what a great idea it is that you try it! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!" |
"Lance Armstrong climbed Plateau-de-Beille and shrugged. Then Lance tried to run a marathon and admitted that the hardest day on Le Tour was child's play compared to the grueling anguish of a marathon. So congratulations on attempting something that at least YOU think is difficult." --Keith G. Marsteller: Runner, Thinker, Philanthropist |

you had better get your butt on that seat and start riding NOW! You're going to need every mile of training you can get. :) " --Lawrie Cranley, Bikestyle Tours |
"You are honestly one of the most dedicated and determined people I know. Yes, we have had challenges along the way, but I truly believe you will accomplish this amazing goal. Make sure you pack your NightRider lights, though,
in case you are on the bike for 10 or so hours longer than expected...LOL. Seriously, I am very proud of your courage and determination... after all this hardwork you aren't doing half bad. :) Your friend and coach, David. " |

No, seriously...I can't tell you how much I admire your determination, strength, and perseverance. I know you are going to make it and I'm damn proud of you for training so hard for it. Best of luck!" |
