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

Hey, Merry Christmas from the Left Coast! <3 2 Ride and gsteinb, hope you guys can work things (whatever they might be) out for the best.
This thread has helped me through the boring days at work when I just sit there waiting for something to do. Thanks BillyD and Psimet and the great CC.

Except Gary. A sleigh should crash through his roof and crush him while he sleeps.

Fixed it.

My family and I are about to leave to a little Christmas Eve party at a neighbor's house. My neighbor is a clydesdale that rides a trek madone. I got him riding with my group about a year ago. That didn't last long. He was surprisingly fast on the flats. But he was VERY slow up hill.

The thread title should be changed today to "Bored Roadies Holed up with Family and too much Food need a Thread About Nothing at all".

What's on the menu today that is going to require double hours on the bike tomorrow? We had a gut-buster of a breakfast. Bacon, french toast, omelets, fruit, coffee, juice & candy from stockings.
