[Ron & the bears]

Hi Jennifer,

So, are you going to ride the century on Sunday?

The bears and I wish you a steady and comfortable ride. Don't let the 
excitement of the crowds cause you to ride too fast early on. Go 
conservative and you will have more at the end of the ride. If you are 
feeling fresh at the 90-mile mark, then you might begin to drop the hammer 
more as you begin to smell the barn. Eat and drink at every stop. Keep 'em 
short. Don't forget to eat the salty snacks, you will need electrolytes. 
open some energy bars and put them in your jersey pockets. They are easier 
to grab with one hand, while riding. Ask to borrow a jersey. You will be 
more comfortable wearing one. Maybe your pilot has a matching one? Can you 
get out for a moderate ride this week? It will help you prepare and ensure 
that the bike feels right to you. Call me for more tips or any questions. 
These rides are as much, if not more mental than physical.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Jen, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
So you got to dodge 'em and you got to duck 'em,
you got to keep that tandem truckin'.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
we're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' \"Bandit\" run.
