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

Another one! I guess it to be expected. I have been a fan for many years.

A quality post from VV. Or maybe I’ve been away too long.

I switch seat, seat post and bag in one move. Hard to forget the seat.

I recently found out that tiz-cycling isn’t a real site. And I couldn’t use it anyway, as it refused to function anymore. I am now searching for a recommended paid site to watch full races on. Got any?

TIZ still works for me sometimes, but it does seem to be hit and miss. Sometimes when a race is happening I go to youtube and do a search and may get a live stream for free. Sometimes a paid site will pop up but I don't know if they are trustworthy.

Some races are on Peacock, like the TDF. You could buy it for a month (if it's available in your area). I think the UCI site might have options. And you can google "how to watch" which sometimes gives you options.

Bicycle racing is a very small sport in the US, a lot of stuff available in Europe doesn't cross the pond. Don't know about Mexico.

When I head out for a ride I plan to leave a nasty gram to go along with their ticket.

No word on the biopsy results. They said it could be 10 days.

I miss the "good old days'" of GCN+. It was reasonably priced and had really good coverage.
