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

Cut my ride way short this morn' so I could package the men's team clothing order and make arrangements to get them to the riders. Put my new kit on and went out for a ~30 min little jaunt.

Grabbed the KOM on this ~2' local uphill segment so that is cool I guess. It's fast at first (false flat) then the final ~45s is steeply up, my kinda segment. I think I could peel another 10" off on a max level effort.

We got invited to a concert tonight. The band is called Southern Culture on the Skids. I don’t know them so will keep an open mind.

edit: I listened to a couple songs. They sound B52’s-ish. Very campy.

I saw SCOTS a few times in the 90s and aughts, and I've been thinking of catching this tour. Halloween night in PHX.
