HEATSTROKE 78........

Meg and I headed to Burlington with Cooooooop and his much better half to do the the Heatstroke 100. Another first for the Wolf's, but Coop and Anne were seasoned veterans. A large group headed out with a variety of mileage plans which included 43, 74, and 100 mile routes. We bargined for 74 miles, but somehow missed a cut-off and found ourselves in a group with Torgler, Rockstar, Josh Barrett, and Kyle who were doing the 100. The look on Meg's face was hillarious when Donny K. told her she was on the 100 mile route. Fortunately, Danny and Buran missed the same turn and the 4 of us were able to get back on the 74 course with only a few extra miles.

Thanks-a-million from Meg to Danny for not only riding with, but also coaching and giving pointers the entire ride. She hung in really well for close to 60 miles and spent the last hour or so in and out of the hurt locker. Almost 79 miles was probably a bit much for her given the temps, but certainly not child abuse like her grandmother seems to suggest. It was her longest ride to date by 15 miles or so.

Danny has been one of many (you all know who you are and your help is greatly appreciated) over the last couple years who have taken Meg "under their wing" so-to-speak and worked with her on the fundementals of cycling as well as bike racing. Your help has played a big part in her development over the last 3 years.
