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

Cycling elitism will never come close to the purist sect of fly fishing until the TDF reverts back to these.

^^^ well I mean those are clearly different. On one there is a black thingie and its silver on the other. the one with the silver thingie has its name written 4 times and the other one only twice (that must make it faster), and finally the one with the black thingie has some writing on one of the parts that comes out from the center.

Perhaps someone needs to give Campag's sense of humor some Redbull or something. It seems to have fallen asleep. Oh, and Campag, you insult on an AS needed basis, not add needed.

Campag and Crewshell were born without a sense of humor. It's genetic. They are not to blame.

Cabin fever is really starting to get to some of you northerners, isn't it?

I figure when it gets into March, you mock Northerners for their weather at your own risk. I may start tweaking their frostbitten noses - but around March, it is just too tragic to be funny...

All you have to do is read the postings of PCad and you can see that here is a man suffering from ice crystals in the brain...

some people seem to get a little too defensive about themselves or their equipment. let your riding speak for itself and don't get all worked up.

What a weenie wuss. C'mon man! Hammer in those miles. I expect to see 5000 by June. It's not quality. It's quantity.

If I get hit by a bus I may only have 5000 miles in by June. Typically, it's more.

Well Kid, I went back to page 8 and it wasn't there. No biggie. But I'm sure not gonna read this whole thread. Page 8 did however have some very nice squirrel art, in case anyone is interested.

I didn't know there were squirrel artists. Here is an elephant that can paint.

No wonder you have been banned so many times. All you use is terse language. Keep in mind, this is a family forum.
