Happy New Addiction XXXI

Notices
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

See. people like @Rowan, @BillyD, and me make our first names apparent in our user names.

For today's 5 degree ride, I used a balaclava and ski goggles. No exposed skin on my face.

It worked perfectly.

The only complaint I have about riding in the cold is my drink froze way too fast. I was really dry by the end of the ride.

I will look into it. Do they make one that fits well into a bottle cage?

Mine is my first initial and last name. I suppose I should be more careful in the future. So much for internet anonymity.

I wasn't criticizing. . It is funny, because I often almost refer to you or Mr. Jones by first name, and then catch myself. I try to respect anonymity, and usually cringe after I reveal too much personal. However, this is my only internet loiter spot, so I figure the 41 will dumb down identity thieves before they get a coherent lock.

Mine is easy and obvious and I used it because it was the same thing I was using on Twitter and Plurk at the time and I used it there because it was easy and obvious and I wanted people at a tech mini-conference to be able to find and follow me.

Funnily enough, when I think of posting something about or regarding LoP on here that's how I usually think of him first instead of by name. No idea how he's referring to me these days because ever since I was outed it seems like he doesn't much. W/E
