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

Someone should send him a PM. No, I'm not going to do it. I'm the instigator.

Hmmmmm.....

I have an idea.

If I attach a string to the bike and throw it in the lake, then call the insurance guy and say it was stolen out of the garage can I get an equivalent bike?

Then retrieve the bike and have two bikes.

You have not seen wind until you have been in Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping across the plains.
I did not say it was Oklahoma-caliber wind.

The doc just stitched him up and then they rode home 12 miles in a hailstorm.
Yup

There were switchbacks.

Haha, all my friends are always riding century rides. You could do one pretty much any weekend around here. You should take the warbird on a road trip.

It was a respectable ride.

If it's carbon, a 5mm Allen wrench will do the trick.

The Space Age began in 1957. I dare say that you could not find a non-Space Age material in a bike frame.

All the wet stuff is the pre-rub soak, then the marinade during the smoke.
