Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Really? Bummer. We are supposed to have good weather for Saturday. Sunday, not so much.

I am going to do my club's A- ride and goal is to not get dropped.

Question:
What does the acronym FIFA stand for and why is the word 'soccer' not in the name?

That is, unless one of those words translates into 'soccer', in which case it would make some sense.

Sunday's supposed to be clear, but chilly. I may need to wear a jacket.
