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

Dear Santa:

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But BF is so delightful,
If my wish list you'd like to know,
EPO, EPO, EPO

Yours Truly,

Pcad

P.S. I've been good all year.

I'm hoping for a Garmin 705 with the HRM strap. I asked for one, but we'll see.

I also asked for cycling books (Event Services and another I forget the name of and Joe Friel's Bible) and some SKS Raceblade fenders.

I really want a 705, that would be sweet. And then next summer when I have money I can use it with whatever power meter I get.

Got the winter gear so I'm set, all I'd really like is a winter without too much snow.

Actually, I think World Peace would be fine right after somebody nukes Iran, North Korea, and NW Pakistan.

a 305 would be great, but I'll settle for some big smiles from the kids when they see what santa got them instead.
