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

Welcome to the forum... In lieu of treats feel free to share your favorite pie recipe.

And since my bike is apparently what defines me now (), I feel compelled:

....you KNOW I meant that as a compliment ma man!

To the OP....Penguin is one of the guys who has helped me through many a dilema when it came to my first races.

You'll get a lot of great advice from people who have raced and ridden a lot of miles and have been around here for some time now.
