[list=1][*]Slowly burning up my vacation days one at the time for bike rides[*]Eating a can of sardines and chasing it with tap water in about three minutes at lunch so I can ride the other 57 minutes[*]Getting up at 5 A.M. for a quick 5 mile sprint in the dark[*]Spending more money on cold weather cycling clothes that I wear 10 hours a week than I've ever spent on one season on any other type of clothing[*]Realizing that the determining factor in the purchase of my next house will its proximity to good riding roads[*]Being willing to stare at your back for hours as you've helped me improve on all those Sunday rides - Thanks![/list=1]
