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

Unexpected 11.5 inches and then below zero temps to freeze it all. East county roads are a mess.

coasting is a woman.

I suppose it's possible, but you posted a photo of yourself once. But as I've learned here, it's still possible.
