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

A Hofman ... LSD and biking!?!

Saw this obit for Albert Hofmann and it made me think of my bf friends

Father of LSD dies at 102

His description of his first use of the drug in 1943 ...

"Everything I saw was distorted as in a warped mirror," he said, describing his bicycle ride home. "I had the impression I was rooted to the spot. But my assistant told me we were actually going very fast."

Sounds like a PED to me

Two of the most fun things I've ever done, LSD and bicycling, were done at the same time by this great, great man. RIP
