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

It won't last long.
Meh... not much from the OP, and just a bunch of people talking about what an awesome thread it is. Not nearly enough actual on-topic talk to be great.

Yet.

Not really near any exits per se. About 30 miles due west of NYC. Haven't lived there since I graduated HS in 1983.

He either is RyanF, or he's an incredible simulation.

I haven't had any since 1991-ish.

Are there any artisanal $120 ones available these days?

Nah, someone let him out of there to share all the fun around a few of the other forums. It might have been OK if he was able to string together a sentence without so many errors in it.

Roughly 100 miles, it's a 2 hour drive. My sister still lives in the general area so we go there once in awhile. The road cycling there is not ideal, too many cars and not enough back roads.

Weather looks to be good all weekend. I want to get out with the chain dropper to try to see if her shifting technique may be the cause of the issue.
