When Cliff first asked me if I wanted to do an ultra-marathon in December, I didn’t think twice (ok, well maybe not quite). That’s typically the way I am when an exciting challenge is put forth in front of me: agree first… then think about it later.

This scared me when I first read this title, because I immediately thought of Cliff and Amanda, who live in Ottawa. Luckily (for us and them) they would have still been in NB at that time, and Cliff and I were actually out for a ride of our own in Fredericton. This is an awful [...]

Specifically, look at the yellow jersey (Daryl Impey from South Africa) at 3:45 into the video (the bottom, left of the screen).
