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

I'd fire you but you don't work for me. And this 'bring back slavery without racial bias' business concept of mine is getting no traction. Pity.

How do you find the time? Are you single?

Either way, much props.

Once a month whether I need it or not. Although at one point this summer I had ridden 78 consecutive days.

I will be taking regular rest days next season. I'm trying to get faster, this won't work. Particularly since I'm not 35 anymore. I took 3 days completely off the bike before my most recent TT, my legs certainly felt fresh that day.

That's a good question. Unlike the unbelievable technobike weenie contingent here I could give a **** about average speed, vertical feet, etc. However, the climb up to my driveway is 400 vertical feet, and I do that about 300x annually. Right there that's 120,000 vertical feet. My regular Saturday ride is 5,000+ vertical, I probably do 30 of those each year. I'm guessing somewhere in the 300,000-500,000 vertical feet range.

Good man. I guess the golden measure for a cyclist is binary: did it hurt?

In all honesty...and I'm not saying this to be insulting...

When I'm his age...I hope to be able to accomplish that feat as well.

I was on the road this AM at 5:30 in the dark with my HD light setup. And it was raining too. That's hard core, right?
