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

Merry friggin Xmas you Bike Weenies

From your Uncle Pcad to all you Fred, Road Nazi and Bike Weenie Morons, Merry Xmas. It's looking very Xmas-like on Mt. Doom this year.

You can't have everything.

Looks freaking cold out there. Could probably use a nice fire to warm things up.

At least Sam has snow to pee on so he can feel normal for a while.

Looks like mtb weather to me. Careful out there.

Once, my dog ate an ornament. His poop was sparkly. I was tempted to hang it on a tree. The end.

You could still give it the Pcad try. Maybe saddle up the Cervelo in the living room, open up the patio doors, crank it to 400 watts, and attempt to hit Max Q prior to the railing. Whatever happens, it would certainly be spectacular.

And Merry friggin Xmas back at ya and the rest of the BF folks.

Take heart, old man. As your body ages, you require less altitude to do the deed.

Nice train set, BTW. You play?

Merry Xmas, Pcad, King of the Bunny Slope..

Btw, you need an interior decorator. You have the same carpet I do, I also have iron curtain rods with a ball like thing at the end, and those
lacy curtains that try to imitate the hand made ones. Ditto the leather sofa and glass case. I bet the stuff in my case is tackier than yours, tho..
Where's the TV?

If I lived in hills like that, I doubt I could motivate myself to go now.

My dog looked over my shoulder and saw the bed yours has and wants one.
