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

Are there implications for the community at large? Should we all plan to meet in an emergency forum and count heads after it happens?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Already in the works. We all got together last night over a few beers and had a great laugh about how to go about this. More beers once we implement our diabolical plans!

Sure, those who draft the pope in his quest for the 50K will also suffer a reversal

Pcad thinks you need 50,000 posts to get into the 50+ Forum. Maybe we should straighten him out.....
