no longer just a name i'm competing against....
fellow path commuter is a good friend of my National Bike Challenge nemesis, and he's the one that gave me the intel on him, no not a recumbent rider, flat bar road bike and retired yes, also Dutch.
Saw my friend Mike W this morning on the way in. We rode into the bike to work day festivities together, then he headed off to work and after he left he encoutered my nemesis and directed him to Bike To Work day and told him to see if he could find me.
He did. We talked for a while, it was pretty awesome, and yes, mutually agreed this competition has been frustrating but also fun and rewarding and we're both unlikely to carry this mileage too much longer. And yes, weather is something he doesn't like riding in, but he will find a couple hour break in the weather and go for a ride if possible.
Super cool to demystify your rival, to put a face and a handshake with the name...
Now I'm going to go take advantage of the day - submit grades and ride somewhere other than east.
