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

We're going to yell at you.

Seriously? Where you near anyone? I didn't think officials could tell you how to ride your bike. I know in college we're not allowed to put both hands up when crossing the line, but that's hardly the same as riding IAB.

Collegiate Season Goal: Yell at my coach while racing with him

It'll be hard to pull it off, but I think I can do it.

Actually, I tried to get the sorry mopes in my 7 man Nyack Ride Pathetic Loser Shell Group to work together on Sunday, and I even yelled at them, but it was like trying to explain car insurance to cavemen. But I did get a decent workout towing them around.
