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

Eah- Someone Had To Post About It

Yeah, yeah, he doesn't ride professionally anymore but none the less it is Lance and every step he takes must be reported somewhere on B.F. I haven't started a thread in a while so, why not .
Since I don't run, I found this interesting-

Armstrong said there's no comparison between running a marathon and cycling, either physically or mentally.
"You can't compare the pounding or running with the efficiency of a bicycle," he said. "Nothing even comes close to comparing the pain, especially it seems like this course, with a significant amount of downhills ... that really take their toll on the muscles."


You can read it all here.
