    Those are insane speeds!

    I had a boss at INSURANCE COMPANY that was a big biker. He was telling me a story about that race across the US. During the portion that goes over the Rockies, some regular guy had a heart attack at the top of whatever mountain. The actual racers were approaching. The ambulance picked this guy up, then had a hard time staying ahead of the racers. The ambulance would pull ahead on the straight parts of the descent, but any time there were curves, the bikes would catch up and be right on the ambulance's tail.

    I hope that story makes sense, seeing as I have little to no actual details.

    Yep, makes sense. Too bad about the heart attack victim, but I understand the agro-riding of competitive racers.

    To make it worse, I have an FTP of over 400W and a max 10 sec of almost 1300W. my W/kg number is around 5.4 these days. If I maintained the power and lost another 5 pounds, things would be pretty insane.

    I'm too old to go pro, btw.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Hey, Hey Fellers..........Howdy. I'd be on more if I wasn't working two jobs.

    I have a decent bike, but I don't ride it very often. I can't even tell you the name of it right now, but I know it's higher quality for the lay person....lol. Hell...I used to shoot guns that are decent quality too, but I can't remember their names now either. wtf.

    Dispatching cabs at the airport is a thankless job.....lol. Even from our governing body.......we are rat droppings in the Ground Transportation pecking order.

    I can offer that the Habib cab system is severely flawed and very political with the city, and if you find yourself as an airport traveler....or perhaps a friend of yours, ..... I'd highly recommend Uber or Lyft to suit your passenger delivery requirements.
