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

It's a little late for this, but does anyone know what the phrase, "coal rolling" means. Especially the second time it is posted. I am perplexed.

I love those tyres. I wish Western Bikeworks would get the brownwalls in, though. The Scapin needs them in brownwall.

Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!



1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)



2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)



3. Add 5



4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1765...
If you haven't, add 1764..



6... Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



You should have a three digit number



The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).



The next two numbers are



YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!)



THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2015) IT WILL EVER WORK,
SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
At first, I thought it was off a year...took me a moment to remember my age.

Never mind. I looked it up. Stupid is as stupid does. (Not the looking it up, the coal rolling.)
