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

.. @coasting, fasting is a natural complement to a Vegan diet because even that stuff

they served at my brunch would've tasted good after three days without eating.

Sooner than you thought - signed for another 7 years.

It's good Cutler found a home. His weirdness does seem to have been on the decline since moving to Chicago.

Ponder? No. You haven't watched enough Viking games if you think that he just had a bad year. Offense is completely closed down with him at the helm - they can't stretch the field at all, not even just to the point of keepin' the defense honest, and then teams can tee off on the run game. In 2012, Adrian got to the second level and busted off a bunch of long runs, carrying the team despite having no passing game. 2013 was not so kind.

I weighed probably 160 at hs graduation. Ballooned to 165 at college graduation. What a glutton!

I hope to never be that skinny again.

Ya gotta give a kid one more year to be sure he sucks. lol

Honestly, I never did like him at FSU. I was surprised he even got drafted to the pros, frankly.

I don't know what I weighed for high school graduation or my first college graduation. HS may have been less than 140. I didn't finish growing until sophomore year of college.
