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

hence my disappointment. That wouldn't play well in Sharpsville. The Preds are battling with Dallas tonight. On Tuesday @LesterOfPuppets Coyotes are in town. You should go and offer to pay his way. How often do you visit nearby Nashville?

Took a 1.5 hour nap today, I was tired after my ride. Not up to my fitness standards, not even close. Was about 65F today.
Shoulda went to the Varsity. Some folks in less privileged parts of the country have no access to chili dogs with cole slaw on them.

Sad.

not a fan of the varsity. I grill my own boars head dogs and dress them with my own chilli and slaw. Plus no crowds. The best dogs are at the Original Hot Dog shop on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh. @indyfabz might disagree with me on that. I think he dislikes the filthy conditions.

I’m going to put my wife on her trike today for 20 miles. First outdoor ride since her fall on 9/22. She’s talking about maybe trying our tandem when we get home. A few weeks ago, she was still saying she was done riding so that’s good news.
