BRAG, June 16, 2006 - Day 6

Once again, I was on a demo bike. Therefore, I don’t have complete stats.

Here is what I have:
HRM Stats:
6:29:10
132 hr avg.
171 hr max.
69 mi.

As usual, the HRM includes all the rest stops, and finding my luggage before I remembered to turn it off. I probably averaged around 14.5 mph, maybe 15 mph.

BRAG - Sprints with AJ

Someone posted a comment asking about who won the sprints I had with the 11 year old.

I don’t see any benefit in answering. If I win, there is no glory in beating a kid. If he wins, I got beat by a kid. If I let him win, he is robbed of the thrill of victory.

Everyone will have to draw their own conclusions.

BRAG Day 5 - Gainesville to Commerce

Yesterday, after my update, I went bowling with the kids. I am not a bowler, but it was fun. Then, the family dropped me off at camp and left for Atlanta.

BRAG Day 4 - Gainesville Rest Day

Today, I have not ridden the bike. My legs need the rest. I did laundry at a local laundromat. The place was full of cyclists. We packed the car and went to lunch. After lunch, we went to the school and set up my campsite.

We visited a park, then went for ice cream. Now we are bowling. After this, it will be time to go back to camp and say goodbye. The family is going to Lilburn to stay with the Estocks until it is time to come get me in Augusta.
