How far should you be away from another rider before you YACK!

Well today I cracked the 3,000 kilometer mark for the year. That isnt a lot for some but for me it is huge! Today I also set my highest 75% average at 32kph. So all in all a great morning ride. I had the new egg beaters and new Giro Republic shoes as well. The highlight of the ride though was Brandon and his near vomiting experience. So that brings us to the question at hand. How far should you be away from other riders when you are about to yack? Brandon chose the safe route and let me lead the ride and stayed a safe 30 meters behind. For me, well I have a different approach. The other riders should pay mind to my yelling or abnormal hand waving to create a vomit buffer zone. The vomit buffer zone should take wind, splash radius, and head whip into account. What do you think?

*Disclaimer: There was no actual yacking on this ride, Brandon was just very close.

Spinneys Dubai 92 update

Well the race is closing in and we have three confirmed participants from the Missing Links. Eric, Brandon and myself are all confirmed. We are hoping we pick up one or two more folks to round out the team. We have plenty of space in the van and in the hotel room.
