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

Those ratios seem kinda high.

There are 10 people with that name.

In other Strava news, I asked to join the IrRegulars and was accepted. Just wanted to check it out.

A few months ago I asked when the last time a female had posted here, and no one could say. Sad.

There's an area school board candidate named Bike. Signs are scattered about. #P&R

Then there were always JAMA mags about with all sorts of pictures and descriptions of diseases and treatments. We also have an OBGYN who does robotic surgery and has lots of tails. She regularly gives me copies of her Obstetrics and Gynecology mag which is pretty fascinating. I knew women had ‘female issues’ but had no idea about how many and how complex they can be. Be happy to be a male. Then there is the PCP with pretty wild stories of what comes into his exam rooms. Lots of laughs and grimaces.

Between my Bio Sci major, all the medical journals I have read and the stories of the family, I have become a fairly accurate diagnostician of the mundane - specific female issues aside.

I should see if they will accept a low life like myself. Ricky Rocket

OTOH, none of these look right.

The Vans store that was still under construction when I went on a date there in 2022 is now open! That's the only thing I noticed. Oh also none of the stores had signs about masking or the little floor decals that help you stay 6' apart while standing in line.
