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

That guy that beat him must have PCad genes.
Reading this is like those logic and reasoning tests in college were you read one big run on paragraph and then chose the statement that makes the LEAST sense.

Some times in job interviews, one gets verbal reasoning tests. Your given a moderate paragraph with some facts, some opinion and are then asked some questions to judge your interpretation of the paragraph.

I am going to read all your posts Ryanf, just to revise. Thank you.
