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's taken you, what ... 6 months to drop 2 lbs?

Landis had a hip replacement in September, would love to see how you'd cope under similar circumstances.

I saw him in person about 2 weeks after surgery and he didn't look as heavy as now.
