Dave seems like a good guy from the couple paragraphs I read about him. Anon, that's kinda harsh. Perhaps you're right and Kent is wrong; but I rather think Dave is an "independent" thinker and kinda kicks ass. <br /><br />Fantastic write up Jill.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155715904982323893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-52275802399364693792009-07-20T19:03:12.599-06:002009-07-20T19:03:12.599-06:00WARNING!

I'm not a woman, but I think Dave Nice would qualify as a "bike nerd". The kind of guy a woman might like to have around as a non-threatening friend, who can fix bikes too. He doesn't really qualify as a "male" in the normal sense. It's kind of like why some women will have will have a gay guy as a friend, for a shoulder to cry on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-81657170824524980782009-07-20T18:13:10.708-06:002009-07-20T18:13:10.708-06:00Jill, Thanks for the wonderful description of your...Jill, Thanks for the wonderful description of your ride through Central Colorado. And as always, great photos. I've ridden some of CO on a road bike. On asphalt.

I mean think about it, when you went though your "I hate men" phase, you specifically said "except for Dave Nice." In the middle of a freakin' epic cross country race he manages to take you home to meet his gramma! C'mon, this is epic stuff. Plus you'd have drama -- she loves Alaska, Diet Pepsi and coasting, he's fixed in his ways and is a whiskey man. I can't believe the Discovery Channel doesn't have you two under contract already.Kent Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607372827627527450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-90823540376407602502009-07-20T13:11:19.816-06:002009-07-20T13:11:19.816-06:00Thanks for the updates Jill.

I love the way that your descriptions are more about feelings and emotions than the "I went up ..." and "I rode ... miles", etc. Your last call in about "It's possible" put me over the top and I've now committed to trying this thing next Summer at a touring pace with a friend.
