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

Exactly. When I'm not suffering in front of the tv I'm here.

If you had any REAL talent you'd have a picture of you playing the Tuba whilst riding rollers.

First I look at the bikes. Post number 5..... Six bikes.. Maybe one is Titanium... Like your coral..
Photo number two.. Nice exercise room. It'd be like the Tour de France with a bike race dvd . But, a wine chiller... I prefer a good Riesling following a ride on the steel pony...

Yeah...for every 1 Mac sold there are probably 500 Dells or other MS PC's sold. We've got 25,000 associates in our company - almost all 25,000 using Dells. There are a few odd Macs used in Marketing and such, but for real Business no Macs are allowed
