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

The naming thing was a rhetorical question. There was never any doubt...for me at least.

Actually I guess both questions were rhetorical.

I was a four-year Deerfield boy. Never went to the museum, but I have been back twice in the last few years for D2R2 and drove past the Yankee Candle place on 5&10 Is that their headquarters?

Nice looking bike. I think you should name it Anubis after the dark lord.

Never give all that plastic a second thought.
