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

Brian brings up Brian, who was expat until he changed his name, made it clear he hated Australia when he lived here, got divorced, moved back to good ol' USA, made a takeover bid and became a BF Admin.

I think HBrown is going to be gone for a while again, at least until he saw the tunnel and come's back for moar.

On Billy's suggestion, I'll refrain from hassling him on his boasting to the point that it becomes strava-stalking. Not my finest hour.

Based on the "Locked Threads" thread, I am guessing Stucky is gone. YAGE.

Oh well. Reading the same post over and over got a bit dull.

HBrown is quite excellent and I have to admit I miss Alias sometimes.

Yeah, those earlier days were way more fun imo. It's just hard to put your finger on exactly how. But the individuals back then definitely were here for a different purpose . . . to have fun.

I don't recall if he posted in the Road Cyling Forum but he had 30 threads with his name in the title, including birthday wishes from blonduathlongrl
