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

Wow, the NFL is Patrick Star level ********. Since I'm assuming there is justice in the next world, this means Mara and Goodell are going to burn in hell for a really, really long time.

Weather forecast for tomorrow is rainy, so I reposted my "Rain Ride" for my club if the usual group rides are canceled. I am not expecting many, if any, takers.

I am hoping the weather will be dry and I can cancel the rain ride on account of good weather.

I hope that's how it goes, but as of now they are predicting "widely scattered" showers all day.
