Why the Dirtbomb was meant to be.

Six hours in the saddle, sun, sleet, wind, rain, darkness, paved roads, dirt roads, fire roads, singletrack, sand, dust, silt, mud, and even slick rock, all concluding with a collapse from exhaustion. I used to be fond of quoting Robert Ives when I said "I may not be the fastest person on a bike, but I can suffer better than anybody." After yesterday, I realized I'm not all that great at suffering either.
