Twenty-six miles and change in four hours. Let's see now, 26 divided by
four
= 6.5. ****, man, I can WALK that fast.

ROFLOL Bawhahahahahahahahahah!

That Hungarian *woman*, Constantina Tomescu-Dita, won the Beijing Olympic
marathon in 2 1/2 hours and she's a babe.

Maybe you should consider retiring?

Let's see Neal, how old are you? Bring it on, any time any place, any
distance. You're starting to sound like Bobsprit. Big talk, no
action.

Wilbur Hubbard



I have thought about it a bit and I really believe a bicycle race the length
of a marathon would be a fair and just contest. Rickety old Wilbur could
fish a bicycle out of the dumpster and with all his wheezing, coughing and
defunct liver could do the 26 miles in about the time it takes someone to
run it (4 hrs or so). I'm sure I could talk deluded Wilbur into the
challenge if he's liquored up enough. I'd say time trial it, no drafting,
each man on his own. Even giving Wilbur a head start would be a sure bet,
it's not like he can hold 24+ mph (on a non-aero bike) for over an hour or
he's a contender for some sanctioned cycling championship or that's he a top
rated cyclist for his age group and those 20 years younger, let alone a
locally noted triathlete. No way on that front. I'll even run a sag wagon
for poor dilapidated Wilbur and pick up the pieces as he goes along.

How about it?

I believe it is time to exit the puppet show since I may be the only
carbon based entity in same.
