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

Well, Fernando came back with a bizarre tale. I was seen to dismount, lean my bike against a stone wall, and then collapse, abrading my elbow and shoulder, and ultimately hitting my head. A discussion ensued and I went on, against the pleas of those arond me. Ultimately, I came back, walking the bike, walked into town and hired the man who brought me home.

Those are kind of pricey.

Same here. I am totally out of touch with pop culture but I am ok with that. And I am not that old.

By the way this site sucks with an iPad. Crashes all the time.

Wow, that's serious! I'm glad you're here posting with us now. Please watch out for concussion issues.

Please get an MRI, man. It's pretty not normal to lose consciousness like that.

We're on the family fun circuit for the summer, doing day trips and checking things off the been-meaning-to-do list. Today we went to what's left of a little town that essentially got mothballed in the early 1900s and is now a MN Historical Society site with guides in costume and in character. Brought the camera, intending to only bring my 28mm (favorite FoV), but something felt off for the first few hurried shots, at which time I realized that I'd brought the 50mm (least favorite FoV) instead. I had to switch up my mindset, but still came away with some good photographs. Favorite so far is the boy learning how to use a drawknife with one of the guides -

Not really looking for wheels, those were simply too good of a deal. Too good indeed, since it turned out to be wrong.
