It was Tito, Smitty, and me sitting at the intersection. I even told Smitty, "Tito and I are going to move ahead. You wait here for them". I'm sure he thought that an odd comment. Then, one slight problem, we went the opposite way we should have ! Duh - 0 for 1. The next time was set up perfectly - the left off 96. I even had a long head start due to a fortunate traffic thing. But, I sat up to wait for Tito to pull me about the same time I saw the line and took off. Too late. Smitty and Tito were on me and around. I hung for 10 seconds and that was it. 0-2. We didn't try the 3rd option. I finally "won" the 11th or 12th not sure. I suspect there was a bit of the same situation going on here with Pantani and Armstrong on Mt Ventoux in 2000.

BobH was leading (I think) as we went thru CLs 8, 9 and 10. However, since no one was paying attention after we left Pokomoke, I urged Agnew to let the Hawk thru so he could in front of Tito and BobH -- and then I urged Iva to "GO". It would have been more fun IF "someone" had not been close to Iva on Mays Store Rd and we could have snuck that one for the Hawk. <br /><br />But it didn't really matter. The biggest part of the fun was hatching the conspiracy and the plan. <br /><br />...M<br /><br />advantage of being the blog "owner": no verification wordskiffrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342856829001765305.post-42226972281690526142010-03-06T14:14:11.133-05:002010-03-06T14:14:11.133-05:00Fun ride today.
