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

Is there some kind of election going on right now? Seems to be a lot of unknown phone numbers trying to call us, and the un-watchable television networks are even more un-watchable.

Now Billy has something to move to the cesspool known here as P and R. He can thank me later......

I hope so too, but he has been away from BF for quite some time.

It's probably not just election stuff - I've been getting a lot of spam calls over the past year-ish, and it wasn't bad before that. Calls about "reducing the payment on my credit cards" (which are paid in full twice a month) and "the warranty on your car may be about to expire". I gave up and now don't answer numbers I don't know. They never leave voicemails. If it was important, they would.

Yeah, I know he was into the sport bikes, just joshin' around. You know what they say, about the slippery slope and all...

Possibly. It might be a virtual 30k though.

Ban me from riding? I didn't realize the extent of your powers.

We have been getting them too. Even though we are on the "do not call list."

Looks like today's midweek ride will be a windy one. I will have to remind the guys not to overlap wheels.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal callers - the same thing happened about a decade ago, also with extended warranty people. I remember the FCC asking for help in tracking the culprits down because they were having trouble.

Rain, wind, and temperatures dropping all day. I'm going to be hot on the way to work, but hopefully cozy on the way back.

Well, today's the day I'm having a tooth extracted and a post implanted. Won't that be fun? Four months from today to the permanent crown.
