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's is indeed. Have you ever been up Diamond Rock Rd further out on Yellow Springs?

I'm 30 something and have more gray than color in what's left of my hair.

It must. I saw several Zwift riders this morning with grey hair. They must have added that as a rider customization option recently. Maybe you can only unlock that if you are riding a Cervelo?

Yeah the Knox one was closed about 1-2 years ago but is repaired.

The Sheeder one was more recent, just opened again a few months ago.

Another nice covered bridge I ride over frequently is Kennedy Bridge on Seven Stars near Kimberton, nearby the Kimberton Waldorf School. It's super smooth and the planks have no gaps.

I restarted my Blue Apron subscription now that I'm working at a job that pays me what I'm worth again. Can't recommend them enough! If anyone's interested in trying it give me your email and I'll send you a free week offer(I have 5 free offers I can send out).

New Bladerunner worthy of the franchise title.

Going to read "Do Anroids Dream of Electric Sheep". After I re-read "The Prince".

Just some light soon to be vacation reading.

My stovetop espresso maker puts out some good stuff but I generally cut it with a little water. No way am I going robusta.

Great commentary on Sex/Love robots also in new Bladerunner. Maybe good commentary in the first one, but even more so now. Get ready for a storm of law regulation and oddity when the Japanese come through with the first few production models.

I thought that was interesting but I also think some of the "romance" issues were a ripoff of "Her" by Spike Jonze, which BTW I thought was exceptionally well done.

Nope. The cantilever bridge across the Tennessee River. Much older than that one.
