Fiamme knows what DNF means.

Presumably he's wondering about the part that implies divine inspiration.

I think he means the "Epiphany" part. Other DNFs were listed as accident, so I'm guessing Epiphany means - "It suddenly came to me - I realized I could not continue."- but thats just my guess. Her avg was about 10mph
Or maybe it happened near a town called Epiphany, but that is not listed as a checkpoint. :)

Maybe they meant DNR?

I had seen on the big local riding club's web page a link to “ultra cycling” and the “randonneurs”. I had no idea what that meant so I decided to go to a one of their rides. I was in for a big shock. Thinking that I was pretty fit and not the slowest gal on a bike, I could not believe when we rolled out of the parking lot. The ride leaders were a couple on a tandem (and if you ride, you know that tandems just don't climb…usually.) The route we were on was mountain after mountain after roller after roller for 100 miles. It was really challenging and these folks (especially the ride leaders) didn't even seem like they noticed we were climbing every hill in the tri state area. Reaching the parking lot and my car, I was completely beat. Couldn't believe it when they yelled over to me and asked “hey, you going to come out tomorrow and do another 100 miles with us?” These people were freaks.

The next weekend, I thought I would try riding with these ultra cyclists again. I made it through another 100 miles of mountains and rollers on with them that Saturday. And again, shook my head in disbelief that they were going out again on Sunday for the same...these people were really just nuts.

But, that summer, I kept going back...and started trying the back to back days of long riding. It was pretty hard, but in a fun, sick way. I was hooked. It was such a different challenge than a 20-mile crit or 50-mile road race...this was really mental.

I think she's talking about Chuck and Crista, legendary tandem riders from D.C.

Definitely Chuck and Crista. They are truly cool.

I just checked and Robic is three time stations and nearly 200 miles ahead of his nearest competitor. That guy is incredible. If he hadn't won it before I'd say that he'll fade at the end, but in this case you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

How in the world can their bodies take that sort of punishment?
