Some memorable quotes from the long course (aka 180) of the 2012 UnDu:
 
"I guess the 180 event was pretty challenging.  Only 5 people registered, only 3 showed up, and only 1 was able to finish!"
- Peter Monteferrante
 
"I laid down with my bike AND THEN I unclipped"
  - Lisa Trapasso
 
"I think I'll feel better after I throw-up"
  - Chuck Miller
 
"I laid down in the grass, well it was more like straw, and I heard the car stop and reverse to me... 'R U OK?' 'I've been out riding and running since 8AM'.. then the car drives off... does he offer me a ride? nope!"
  - Michael Voigt

 "That's either a really tough loop, or I'm in big trouble next weekend" and "I was pushing over 300 WATTS and I looked down... I was only gong 17MPH
 
"I think I'm stuck in aero position!"
