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

Then I got her a smoothie and a beetroot juice for me.
You'd have us believe that you remember all these details from four years ago?

Sounds suspect, but we have no way to test your claims.

Supposed to be on a plane to Italy right now, but it wasn't meant to be.

Dog started blowing diarrhea Wednesday evening, and has hot stopped since. Trip canceled. One Di2 DA cycling instrument worth of lost nonrefundable fares, tickets, vet bills, rug cleaning and other expenses down the drain.

Windy day here. I think it was messing with Sheila's head on our walk this morning. Maybe she was smelling dogs a block or two behind us, because every time we were walking downwind, she kept looking over her shoulder. It's so windy I decided to ride ITG.

When I started riding, I was tired - more sleepy than weary. But I saw that one of the Climb Portals available was Old La Honda, so I decided I'd do that, because I could always just noodle up it in the lowest gear or bag it altogether. I ended up beating my previous best time on Faux La Honda by a minute! AND getting a 10W increase in FTP.



I'm apparently quite a bit more fit than I thought I was!
