It's entirely within the realm of possibility that I was drafting a Porsche, but knowing my typical pace it's much more likely that I put the decimal point in the wrong place for the maximum and average speeds. Take a guess in which direction. :-) One of these days I'm going to try to find the original paper copy and see what it says.
It's impressive on your part that you're the first person to notice it, although it's certainly possible you're the first person to read it.
Wait, what?? That's a seriously impressive maximum cycle speed. Wwre you drafting a passing Porsche? 😉

11 months agoIn my imagination I pictured your musical motivation moment. It was an epic Dad moment if there ever was one. I saw white, grass stained New Balance shoes; just barely too short shorts, majestic mustache to match an equally spectacular head of hair. There were eagles and flags and fireworks. A Little Person driving a flaming machine of terror, jumps a towering inferno of molten hot FREEDOM!! "Hey man, is that freedom rock?"
"It is!"
"Well turn it up!!"
Thanks! I wonder how the term "Seattle burger burn" became equated with a rainy day.
I still keep in touch with Howard and talked to him just a few months ago.
Awesome read! I remember nothing but rain while we were out there; rain and snow. But seriously, the PACNORWEST broke me of my habit of staying inside and waiting for the rain to stop. It was where I learned why the old salts called a rainy day a "Seattle burger burn". Wonderful story, you had me laughing out loud.

Of rhe two hypotheses, I'm sticking with the Porsche one, Mark. It gives me greater hope that we might all be able to similarly over-achieve. One day, the Porsches will be drafting us!! 😁
