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

Why not cycle to the start instead of driving? I can't say I'd be all that excited about driving in France.

I know the "Gerolsteiner" saddle is OCP....I'm changing out the bar tape to a light blue to match the seat and I also have some Gerolsteiner pedals on it ...... You'll get some OCP pics when I get around to putting the tape on, but I think the bike will look pretty cool when I get finished with it and I'm a "Fred" so everything's ok. .... When I get tired of the look, I'll go to something else that amuses me, or maybe I'll just build or buy another one.......I really enjoy being a Fred.
