In bicycle riding news, my friend that has taken up cycling wants to get together and attempt a his first century this weekend. Should be fun. We attempted a metric last year, but he had to throw in the towel a couple miles short because of fit-related cramping (shoulders, IIRC). He went in for a professional fit earlier this year has accepted that a less aggressive position would be better for him. He has since completed a 75-mile solo ride, so that's a nice sign. Being able to sit on my wheel occasionally should get him over that 100-mile mark, I'd think.
