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

New Job

Been eyeing up a job at my LBS for a while now. Dropped in one day asked for an app, had an interview, and...what do ya know, I'm starting on Wed.

It's my first job so I'm definitely anxious...but my ultimate goal as an employee will not to be "that guy" aka. dude at performance, or the guy who told you you needed that 5k road bike.

Later

If you are going to be a mechanic, you will learn beyond your years. If a salesperson, you will be inducted into the dark side in weeks. Either way, congrats.

Awesome. I had a great, honest experience today at an LBS at an associate. I'm going to write the manager to let him know the employee deserves kudos. Be that guy.
