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

Get that fizik bar tape on there, you're gonna love it!! maybe even try the gel underneath the tape.

I do like the hat, bike and pool. In fact, i'm really diggin the pool.

You're actually not too far gone on the Fred factor. Main thing is you're having fun, and that what its all about anyway.

It probably reduces the amount of mocking he gets from the twigs.
