MS 150 show!
Monday, May 1, 2006 at 9:50AM I cobbled together the audio I recorded from the MS 150 into a show and you can check it out here. It was a great experience and I want to thank all those that donated, especially www.teamforkids.org. The ride totalled 175 miles and traveled from Houston to Austin over two days.
I decided to be weird (big suprise) and do the whole thing on a single-speed road bike geared at 48 x 18. There was much consternation by certain folks that I wouldn't be able to make it, and I found that laughable. EVERYTHING used to be done on single-speeds, including the Tour de France, and those bikes used to weigh 50 lbs. Check out the show to find out if I was able to climb the steep hills on day two without falling off my bike!

I just found your podcast yesterday and listened to the MS150 show. I,too, did the ride for the second time this year and blogged about it. From the sounds of your audio, I was not far removed from you on the first day. Really enjoy your stuff. Keep it up.
help! i can't download the 2 latest podcasts!!! and I'm dying! Tried it at home, it wouldn't connect. Tried again at work, iTunes wouldn't connect either! What's going on..?
oh, whaddaya know...iTunes is being kind to be yet again. I'm happily downloading the MS150 and Tri De Mayo. I'm a happy triathlete again. :)
