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

BTW, I can't remember if I mentioned this the other day, but I was looking at US News and World Report's "Best Places To Retire In 2023" the other day. #1 was Lancaster - I'd seen that other places. But #3 was Harrisburg, and #5 was York. Also in the top 10 - Reading and Allentown. Also Youngstown OH. YOUNGSTOWN!

I suspect shenanigans.

One of my partners got covid. Again. It's her third time. Each infection roughly 1 year apart, which sounds about right for acquired immunity for this type of virus.

spectators for the Senior road race

Plain Grove - just south of Grove City

at one time we rode / passed through that area fairly frequently

now ride that area 1-3 times per year (but drive to the area and then ride - we park in the same lot where Senior Games road race parking is)

I was confirming what Seeds said about likes being anonymous. We learned today that it's not the same for everyone. Apparently, on a desktop computer or Android phone, the user name shows. On iPhone via Safari, it doesn't.

Him? Jesus, no! He's shorter than I am, but all muscle from working construction.

Mind you, 10 years later his back and shoulders were all ****ed up from lifting too much too many times. Maybe I coulda taken him then.....
