Ultras?!! F that noise :P. I'm not interested in running more than 13.1 miles anymore! However I am looking at doing a 50-mile bike race in October.


You can get a good bike relatively cheap. Mine was nearly at cost ($800) at the local bike shop because it was last year's model, and the owner was good at fitting me and making sure it was a good match. And it's really fun too, especially racing down hills at 45mph. I've heard you can get some good deals on Craigslist but you have to know what you're looking for.
