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 was a great day and the track surface was superb.

Finally, a picture of me on a bike. Not my fancy-pants road bike, mind you, but my fixer-upper vintage ride.


A clearer view of the bike and my cheese-eating grin. I just got this bike to a rideable state, and you could hardly pry me off it yesterday. I wanted to ride it to work this morning, but I had a lot of errands to run after work, and I am not 100% sure I have everything adjusted to where I want it with this bike, so I didn't want to take it on a long haul just yet and have stuff go wrong with it. Therefore I rode my old mountain bike today. It locks up more securely than my road bike does. My lockup chains wrap around that compact frame more securely. I mostly ride the roadie when I know I don't have to lock it up for long, or that I can bring it inside with me.

nothing wrong with a cigar now and then. Hell, just ask Bill Clinton.

Blue CD thats a nice Jeep. I have a Land Rover Discovery Series II. Right now the wife drives it more than me, but I am set to inherit it in 06 when we finally give in and get a kid hauler. I used to have a 3/4 ton 4WD 1974 Chevy Camper Special with a 454 and TH400. That was a tank, literally. I got nailed in it by a drunk illegal and he obviously never showed in court. The frame was bent, front end trashed, and all in all, not worth rebuilding. The real pisser was that when he hit me, I was on my way to the body shop to get her some new clothes. The engine was a 4 bolt main with the excellent truck rods, and pretty good heads, so I sold it to a friend who put it in a SUPER NICE suburban. It went on to a noble life after all. I miss that truck all the time. One of the happiest days of my life was driving down a long dirt road, with one speaker playing on the AM radio, with the windows down at sunset.

Ok, guess I'll post too. Here is me and my "Red Bacchetta" at the Weaver's Needle Overlook in the Superstition Mtns, Az. (14 miles into what would turn into a very hot 200k before the day was out)
