The Best Bit of Bike Advice I Ever Received Is…

Harold

Cutoff jeans and a 50 mile ride?  Dont do it.  Just dont.  When cutoffs were almost “somewhat cool,”  I rode anyway, what a stupid idea that was.

Joe

Glasses outside the straps. 

Tom

Apply suntan lotion first then butt butter.  Never change the order.

Kim

Nobody's your friend in the last 200 meters.

Chris

When you're deep in the pain cave it is pretty likely that everyone around you is too. That bit of advice helps me hang in when the going gets really tough.

Leesa

LOOK at where you WANT to go, NOT where you DON’T want to go.

Kurt

"Smash the Big Ring!!!!!"

Butch

You're usualy better off ignoring advice from the guy you just lapped.

Nick

Keep the rubber side down.

Charley

Get your knees in! Stop cross chaining! Don't run those stop signs unless you’re with me and we are in a break!

Mark

If it's not fun, you're probably doing it wrong.

Rachel

Eat...or you'll bonk! Get off the front!

Jerry

Do not mix embrocation with chamois cream.

Jason

The wise T.F. gave me the obvious (to me now) insight that everybody hurts at the end of the climb...just keep pedalin'.
