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 believe he started out as a Cat 5 and then she moved over to Cat 4. It was a very personal story playing itself out on the webpages of a cycling forum, and not even Foo.

Who'da thunk it.

So when did she leave? Does anyone remember a sign off? Or was it more of a fade? Don't think she was banned like so many of these other hall-of-shamers.

Dec 31, 1969 has nothing to do with the internet. Not directly anyway.

Jan 1, 1970 is the beginning of time.
