I like this guy.

What is a "ground ride", though? Honest question.

edit: in keeping with my reputation:

This weekend I (with some roadie friends): climbed Mt. San Bruno in the worst headwind I have ever ridden in. 20+mph sustained with 30mph gusts according to the USGS wind pattern data. With the ratio I was running (49x18) I can usually maintain 13-15mph, but in this wind it was more like 5-8mph while fighting to not get blown all over the road.

Here is a picture I took and posted to Instagram (I thought it was quite pretty), there is no filter on it, but the composition is so-so. Excuse me for not being a better photographer, with my phone, while on a bike ride.



p.s. I was wearing Rapha arm warmers.
