Going Fast, I love it. Cynthia says that my driving is too fast. I know this.
Here are two examples of going very fast (three if you count the picture):
1. I’ve never owned a bike computer. I do now and last Saturday’s ride on Wolf Creek Pass was a fun testing ride for it. On the descent I was letting it run and looked down to see I was going 48.4 MPH! I admit that I pedaled a few times to see if I could push it to 50 but alas, thoughts of an out of control fall kept me still and poised for the downhill, tapping on the brakes a bit.
In case my mom is reading this, yes, I know what would happen if I went down at 48 MPH and yes, I wear a helmet (although at 48 MPH I’m not sure what good it’d do)
2. I’ve wanted to climb and ski the Grand Teton for a few years now but I guess I’ve not wanted it bad enough as it’s still a vision, an idea. I figure I could do it in a day. Then there’s Jimmy Chin. The guy is FAST. He flashed the Grand, Middle and South Teton this past month climbing and skiing all 3 of those peaks and did it car-to-car in just under 11 hours!
Oh yea, he did it solo. Mad props Jimmy!
