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

I plan to raise hell for my 21,000 milestone, cause I missed the 20,000 one.

wut. It's not my finest tape job, but ain't no crankles.

Can't wait to take it out for a ride in the morning. It's probably close to a year since this bike has seen pavement.

Close. Sept 30, 2016 was the last outside ride on the Xenith. Funny thing is that the last ride was on the same route that I plan on riding tomorrow morning (and afternoon).

Eh, don't kid yourself though your hell raising now ain't nothing compared to BITD. Too smart and too old to do much damage.

But the font is legible, and it wraps as it should, so no horizontal scrolling is required.

The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

I need new tape since my last crash in Feb. It's tattered.

Seems like a chore, tho.

I wouldn't trust a wrap job that didn't take at least a good hour. #Workmanship

Speaking of colors, what is the color scheme the Mariners are wearing tonight against the Indians? Griffey Jr era? I am streaming it tonight since my pirates blew a lead in the 9th against the Cards. Swearing ensued. The dog went upstairs.

The Mariners blue-green and white pants. I think they should have worn the dark blue shirts.

They're on a six game losing streak which is the longest of the season. I think they should see how badly they can stink the place out so we can look back and laugh about it. Like when the Tigers lost 116. Except we won't reach those heights.
