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

She came to NY mountains and bought a math book. The math geek and the dumb jock. I'd wager that if Billy can spell he still has a shot.

I needed a souvenir. What better souvenir than a math book for a math geek.

That is correct. Although going hard makes you more tired for the sexy time. And the sexy time makes you more tired. So thats a Catch 22 right there.

If all goes as planned, I'll be arriving in Cleveland just before 8 and flying out at 8:45. However, with my luck at airports, I could be there all night.

It'll be a balmy 13F upon your arrival...might as well be summer!
I'll pm you my cell # in case you get stuck for the night.

We have made it up to 9F now, though with winds it feels like -6F. 13 does sound balmy.

Thanks, Chip!

At least the sun is shining today. Been looking at grey skies for far too long. I'll take the cold if I don't have to look at grey skies. The sky is a beautiful shade of blue this morning.

Around here you'd end up curled up in the side wing of a 30-ton plow truck.
