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

Ecologically, probably not the best route.

I'm trying to think of an instance where I needed a bath-sized towel.
Not coming up with much.


And, if you're a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, then a cool frood needs to have a real towel. Not disposable.

I can kind of see it, but really think it's overkill. I can do the same thing with a small microfiber detailing towel. It is psychotically absorbent. When I am done I just wash it down with a little soap, rinse it out good, wring it, and let it hang dry.

I think the individually wrapped wet naps are a little more convenient. Now I'm just trying to find a place in town that sells them.

A small terry cloth towel that fits in a jersey pocket is great. It doesn't need to be thick, but is sure nice to have on really hot days.

KFC sells them. They are kind of expensive, but you get three pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, and a biscuit thrown in for free.

About the same price as the KFC meal (way cheaper than Tony Roma's), and you get 100 wet-naps:

and if you're smart, you'll throw away everything except the towelette.

My favorite towel:

I'm sorry, as a born-n-bred Texan, I just can't let this pass.

It's spelled y'all. Not ya'll.

I now return you to your normally scheduled OCP'ing.

- Yal'l
- Yall'
- 'Yall or

I hate you!!!

I just got to work (commuting), I have a PB&J sandwich, some Ramen noodles, and a yogurt for my lunch. After my 23mi commute, A bucket of extra crispy KFC would really hit the spot right now.

Thanks alot.
