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

No way - vinyl's hot again. All the cool kids are picking up 'tables (fortunately for me, I had a 'table when people were still throwing out their records - I love free vinyl).

Oh, and kudos on the horrible pun.

I can't be bothered to de-accelerate from my high-paced cruising speed to investigate such trivia.

I'm reading this on an old monitor that someone was going to toss. Cool CRT. Old keyboard on the old HP computer works great.

I saw an Orange Orbea at the Runcible Spoon yesterday around 2 o'clock. If That was you I'd suggest you get a custom paint job on that Garmin 500 (?). The blue clashes.

Golf is awesome.

How can you beat the excitement of watching fat white turkeys doing fist pumps after sinking a 12-foot putt?

Watching Paris Roubaix on Versus HD. Man these bike races are very cool to see in High Def, it's like I'm watching them for the first time. Amazing visuals. Man what ride by FC. Fastest man in the world right now (distances longer than 200 meters). Good show by Cervelo TT today, 2nd and 4th. How about R. Hammond in 4th, edging out T. Boonen (5th) at the line for that spot.

I hope botto took pictures.

I must confess, the best thing I ever did was dump DirecTV and go back to Cablevision. Fast Internet, phone service is fine, great cable line up, no effed up pictures when there are thunderstorms.

If they didn't have 3000 foot climbs in the TdF, Spartacus would be unstoppable.
