If we could get them to pave the shoulder on North Hills between I-40 and downtown that would make me one happy commuter, but I digress.<br /><br />I was out of town and didn't get to ride the BDB this year. The 68 mile loop looked like it would be a beast for the unitiated. I have done some rides that include Batesville Pike and Fortson Road back to back. Never walked 'em but I know they'll break your heart if you don't know what you're getting into.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112030039528760415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-34589499596310108382011-10-05T09:47:37.785-05:002011-10-05T09:47:37.785-05:00Charlie, I thought the milk shot would help polish...Charlie, I thought the milk shot would help polish your wholesome image. <br />And Joe, I heard stories about the entire lane being blocked by walkers, forcing riders into the oncoming traffic lane....or into a stall! I can't trackstand for squat, so I would have struggled.<br />I hope the postive feedback outweighs the negative on the routes, because I thought they were great!JBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612290032138592894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-43144007438196498342011-10-05T09:35:45.298-05:002011-10-05T09:35:45.298-05:00JBAR, you know what they say about Chocolate Milk?...JBAR, you know what they say about Chocolate Milk? "Taste Great and Less Filling" Wait a minute, that's what they say about Miller Lite too! I'm not sure what class of rider I fell into but it's one of those you listed above. I did however complete (more like survived) the 68 mile route in a respectable time and was able to grip a cold one when I got back.charliehhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029055736516007315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-66096648590105547972011-10-05T09:30:08.423-05:002011-10-05T09:30:08.423-05:00I have NEVER seen so many people walking their bik...I have NEVER seen so many people walking their bikes--most with their shoes off. I suspect many of the 50 milers who had little real cycling experience were very disheartened.Mike Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-48172989190707095242011-10-05T09:08:54.360-05:002011-10-05T09:08:54.360-05:00Thanks for the shout out John.

As riders reached the top of one of the tall hills they started bunching up waiting for friends or taking a breather or both. This caused some vehicular traffic to come to a grinding halt. Trackstanding on that hill was not a lot of fun and I came close to putting a toe down. I remember at one point i saw a pickup stop in front of me and almost grabbed the tailgate. It was a interesting ride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
