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

Or perhaps a lapse in judgment due to the current predicament, lack of adequate sleep and lack of palatable coffee. How hard is it to make a decent cup of coffee?

I hate to say this, but it's time to get ready for today's ride. It's about 35 degrees now, but it's supposed to warm to 60 where we are going. About 75 miles with some climbing, and I'm expecting at least 15 riders. Can't wait. Just what I need after another crappy week at work.

Grumpy, I think you may be right. The inverse of the razor.

Botto, I still don't follow...going to blame the lack of sleep and coffee again. Perhaps in a clearer frame of mind, I'd get it. Today, not so much.

Gents, I am off to the airport. Have fun!

Take care. I guess I'll go do a few hours on the rollers and get a weight session in.

Is 199 in the 41 referring to post counts? Racy clique?

In Cleveland? Silly woman, you coulda let me know and Cheri and I woulda put you up, given you a home cooked meal, GOOD COFFEE, and got you to the airport on time. Nobody deserves having to spend the night in a Cleveland area hotel.

No worries. My x-c skis are ready to go and I can just ski right out of my door today.

Should probably wax them though.
