I've got to get some ducks in a row before I can fully commit to it.<br /><br />Rumor mill seems to be indicating that we could have a women's race on our hands next year. Could be fun. :)<br /><br />CTR would be beautiful either on foot or on bike. I'd love to go hike the wilderness sections that we have to miss on the bike. That being said, there's so much stinkin' fun single track on the CT that I'd have a hard time walking it.Eszterhttp://gooneyriders.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-33615998879431980942011-08-16T14:29:14.210-06:002011-08-16T14:29:14.210-06:00Thank you Katherine and Eszter.

Funny thing is, I'd really like to attempt it on foot, self supported, a fast-pack sort of thing. As for TD, as time passes more and more I want to go back. Who knows? But I'd be even more inspired/tempted if a lot of strong women decide to give it a go.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-90098365893768755222011-08-16T10:48:58.029-06:002011-08-16T10:48:58.029-06:00I finished Be Brave a few weeks before CTR.

I read it at my husband's urging and could not put it down. Not only are you an amazing cyclist, your writing is equally fantastic. I was transported. I cheered with you, I shared your frustrations, I cried with you. Oh! It was so good! <br /><br />My husband has been trying to convince me to mountain bike ("off road" would be more like it; we live in very flat central Iowa!) and, after years of biking on paved trails with a few side turns onto gravel and dirt, I think I may be inspired to try it.KatherineBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500319554950265594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-24521242656882389602011-08-15T17:47:26.764-06:002011-08-15T17:47:26.764-06:00Thanks Tom!

I picked up your book last night; I was treating myself to some Thai food, and figured I wanted a new book to go with it, and have been meaning to snag yours. So I started reading. The restaurant closed, and I moved out to my car. Finally at 10:48pm, I finished the book, and got to leave the darn parking lot!
