DPW Hopperism, modernism and Olympism are superb. Being something of a displaced pumpkin head myself, I enjoyed today's weather by venturing over to the edge of gradualism with a return to a speedy road bike with 25c tires and a few careful hills. The splashes of warm weather and that the last time I rode these roads was three months made everything seemed Hopperistic by being familiar, simplified and a little more intense. I quite like the ride.
