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

That's why I disappeared, it's too annoying to deal with.

Tell the idiots who run this think tank they lost their big star because 1999 wants their interface back.

Mostly I'll miss LoP cuz I'm pretty sure he's headed for the place without the suffering since he'll already have paid his dues.

5:45 and it's still pitch black. I guess the long days are over. The internet tells me today is the equinox. They're gonna get a lot shorter. And cooler.

Shorter days here means riding into the setting sun during the commute home.

I've also got the B&M Ixon speed light charged and mounted in case working late.

Frankly, I can't remember the last time I cleaned a chain. Or wore out a chain ring. Might be a myth.
