Back in high school I had a second hand black t-shirt with white print on it that said "Vermont Ain't Flat" and the outline of the state. It was so grunge.

They posted results for the timed portion of the ride and it looks like there was an issue with my chip because I'm not listed.
I assure you I was WAY faster than @WhyFi though.

Translates to Green Mountain.
Not flat.
I tell people I never met a hill I did not like....with one exception, that being Smuggler's Notch Northbound, I had to turn around it was so steep.

One of my old monthly clients at the CPA firm bought a motorcycle last week. Closing the deal in the books right now.

2. IL
3. ND

I thought the same thing about Nebraska, though admittedly it's been a long time since I was there.
Got the link from this nerdishly interesting video.

The scout came back after a day and told Custer he had some good news and he had some bad news.
Custer asked for the bad news first.
The scout said "There are a million warriors over the hill, and they will be attacking soon."
Custer said "With news like that, what possible good news can there be?"
"We don't have to go back through Nebraska" replied the scout.

My spouse does not ride so although I like to ride on vacation, we don't really do tours. We plunk ourselves down on a vacation and I ride part of most days. We're in Southern California, so our range is mostly west coast US. Although last year we went to Scotland- I had a conference- and added a vacation. There was a lot of mountain biking. 
We also sail and our most common destination is an offshore island with few paved roads. We're heading over next weekend, so I'll roam around on the mountain bike. We have a trip to Tahoe next month and will be bringing three bikes- road, mountain and TT.
Mostly I'm a time trialist these days, although cycling seems to be something of an evolution for me. I started with endurance riding. Now TTs. And lately a bit more mountain biking.

My whole fitness workouts have been an evolution. I started out running, graduated to inline skating and now cycling seems to be the thing I do most. Although with this broken wrist I'm having to keep myself happy walking. I've been told 6 weeks off the skates and bike. I see the dr in another week for cast and stitches removal. Then another cast for about 4 weeks. I'm hoping it won't be that long.

I broke mine when I first started cycling, and ended up in a brace and kept riding anyways. I had a distal scaphoid fracture that wasn't very bad, though. They wanted to cast it, but I didn't let them (was gigging as a fiddle player at the time, and I had some dates I didn't want to miss). I didn't need any pins/screws though, so probably not as bad as yours.
Still, "feeling it" didn't completely go away for like a damn year.

What is broken on your wrist?
I broke mine when I first started cycling, and ended up in a brace and kept riding anyways. I had a distal scaphoid fracture that wasn't very bad, though. They wanted to cast it, but I didn't let them (was gigging as a fiddle player at the time, and I had some dates I didn't want to miss).

For the record, I'm leading the Strava leaderboard after a ride on my... trike.
