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

When I was up at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center last year recovering from a concussion and broken collarbone the nurses were laughing at my tan lines. At least I think it was my tan lines they were laughing at.

Ah, so this was the point of the thread. You just wanted to show off your skinny cat 6 guads.

I can't lie... You, Johnny, are kinda awesome! Gotta be one-of-kind! I mean, how many shirtless ridin', mullet-rockin', self-described Huffy enthusiasts can there be?!
