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

Two of the LARPers in this vid played drums for one of my old bands.

If anyone is looking for a good limited series on Netflix, I highly recommend Inside Man. A good crime/dilema/plot and mind twisting good time.

It's our club's race today, the Barrio Logan Grand Prix. Best course in Socal. Hilly with 8 corners. Heading down now to help setup the canopies at corner 1 for the racing team and sweep some Jacaranda off the ground (also at corner 1).

I'll ride in later for the 35/45 race at 2:10 PM. Two premier Master's teams (Titan and Methods to Winning) will have some hitters in the race so we will have our work cut out for us. Hopefully I can stay near the front and be in good circumstances when the inevitable winning move (from a breakaway) goes on the course.

good luck. Bringing home a win would be worthy of a celebratory dinner with a good bottle of wine.

Much as I love the original Simon and Garfunkel version, this one is a better interpretation of the song.

Good evening Nurburgringers. It's a beautiful sunset over there, very light rain so racers are running their wipers.

Doesn't sound very safe to me.

Speaking of autos, I guess I haven't been keeping up because I didn't know this was a thing until I got behind one at the stoplight this afternoon.

Coulda been worse. A few days ago there were concerns about possible freezing conditions, but it only got down to 38F this morning, so no big deal.

Carroll Shelby could only dream of the torque your average EV puts out. But I think he'd still prefer a gas engined sports car over a "crossover EV".

Worth noting, though, that originally the Mustang was seen as a "Secretary Car", before Shelby got his hands on it.
