    FB, The problem is I don't ride with any regularity anymore. I'll have saddle sores within 5 minutes. I might be better off challenging him to a footrace, even if I do have to contend with his Sasquatch strides.

    I'll do a 5K with you. This trip is a month before the Triathlon I'll be doing in memory of my cousin. I'll be working on my swimming and running at that point.

    You and me. To the top of Bonanza.

    Hmmm. 5K--if I remember my Canadian correctly, that's what, about 3 miles? The distance is right in my wheelhouse. I can pretty much sprint it. The question is how I'd do against a guy who takes one stride for every two I take (yes, you, Bigfoot).

    Where are the SportsJournalists.com odds makers? Who's the favorite here?

    I'll take Ides because Ragu will have something in front of his face and will go off course. :D

    For a 5k, I think you could start at the Stratosphere, run straight down the Strip and end at Madalay Bay.

    yeah, plus Ides is taller and the taxi drivers may see him in time. Ragu will be a grill splatter.

    I'll definitely be there. The wife would happily spend every other weekend in Vegas and this will be a great way to go without having to spend any time in those snooty, high-priced shops near Caesar's.

    And just for the record I will not be participating in a 5K. I prefer the 0.38K, beginning at the Tropicana and taking the overpass across the street to the MGM Grand and parking myself at the sports book. MMmmmm, I love Veas.

    Jeez. Just became I am not a sasquatch like Ides, doesn't mean I am a midget dwarf. Trust me, if they don't see me coming, they'll hear the whirring noise as I book past them.

    So Ragu will be finished on a cab's grill?

    Well, it was a lifelong goal, right after I made the mile high club.
