You both are...ChIcKeNnUgGeTs!We're idiots and knuckleheads in the same thread! This may be a new record. How are we going to top that?
Edit: The lurkers who read this stuff must think we're all nuts...

Both days are doable for me... If you're serious, I'd love to see you up there! Of course, I won't actually see you. It'll be dark for most of the ride.

You’re right - the lurkers don’t know that I know the two of you well enough to poke fun and at the same time be completely in awe of what you are willing to do on a bike.We're idiots and knuckleheads in the same thread! This may be a new record. How are we going to top that?

So I probably shouldn’t use the word “numbskulls” either then...

Word. Maybe I'm just getting old, but all I could think about was how this would mess me up profoundly for days, and I'm an early riser.

Their skulls aren’t the body part that typically goes numb with all that saddle time, but since they’re single speeders, yea...numbskulls pretty much nails it on the head.So I probably shouldn’t use the word “numbskulls” either then...

Sooooo on the fence.... need clearance from CEO first and foremost. But, just using that as an excuse since we'll likely be home right as her and the kids are getting up. It's me that is skuurd to commit. Any chance I can hitch a ride should choose to join you kookoo's?

Steve, have you tried riding naked on that saddle yet? I've heard that riding naked, pre-dawn, through the forest is one of the greatest things a mountain biker can experience. And that lobster claw of a saddle you use probably provides adequate room for sack freedom.If things go numb, you're using the wrong saddle.

I have a feeling the ride report will have sort of a dark vibe.
So Battle of Winterfell?

Do you even use that thing? I was trying to imply you guys stand almost the entire ride.If things go numb, you're using the wrong saddle.
