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

The fat bike race was cancelled because 1/2" of snow?

I concur. Civility is important. Many or most of us come here to avoid the bad stuff of the real world. There is also a lot of knowldge about the mechanical side as well as fitness. If I had an issue I would post the question here first. After being sufficiently and appropriately berated I would receive good advice.

It's time to hone my technique in the dojo, so that one day I can inflict a scathing blow.
