Mike, if and when I ever get to the point of racing, you're the kind of
rider I would never feel bad being beaten by. And in the meantime, I'd
love to ride with you, though Seattle's a far stretch from So Cal.

Didn't want to clutter up the list TOO much today, as I tend to do, just
wanted to say well said and I agree with you---and I'll bet the riders
that ride with your attitude may not end up coming in first place as
often, but have more fun, and in my book, that's a better prize, anyway.
