Thought I'd check him out on Strava... Looks like Jim may be catching him sooner than later.

Commute.
Still in 3rd.
And so, Will got hit by a car today and is out of the running. Totally sucks because A) I really didn't want to get a hollow victory by someone getting taken out, and B) I really enjoy having someone that can push me out of my comfort zone. This is going to sound a tad egotistical but very few people are capable of that. I enjoy being humbled and then using it as an opportunity for growth. I talked to Will for a bit after the shop closed and he's in good spirits. Dennis is on his team so we'll see what happens. The guy in 4th is also on Dennis' team so they have a pretty good lead. Dennis on his own does 250-300 miles a week.

Weekend was not best for riding. Saturday was not only a washout, I had to chaperone kids for an Orchestra Fundraiser. Then we and my kid went into the city to see Yngwie. I squeezed in a short hour just to keep my streak.
Anywhoo. Pizza with the boy at 2am in NYC.
My wife had work this morning so in theory, I could've done a 200k today as planned. However, leaving NYC at 2am and getting home and in bed at like 3-3:30 doesn't work well in my old age 🤣
It was right before Noon when I mustered enough motivation to jump on the bike. I just squeezed in a 100k Perm before we went out for Mother's Day.
In my lollygagging and Pizza eating, I've allowed a new foe to emerge. Hopefully a good night's rest will prep me for a very difficult week of catch up.

Riding through the Tom’s River area Scares the poop out of me. Tight roads and crazy drivers. Then again I am sure it is crazier up north.
Nice ride!

IDK. At least when some jackhole is gonna buzz you down south you hear it coming. During my normal rides I get swooshed by 1,000 Teslas a day.

Will be weird with the Controls being 1 off compared to the 200. I usually don't stop until the Jerseyville WaWa but that's at 120 miles now. Probably hit the 7-11 right before Marmalukes on Ocean Ave. That's about 1/2 way.

He's doing 3 rides a day. Commute, Lunch Ride, Commute. His Lunch rides are 30-40 miles so he's more than likely a shop manager. Short answer is no, he doesn't work.
