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

Whatever your response, the answer is when Pcad says it ends, or the Mods kill it, whichever comes first.

Yeah, that hurt. But I was buoyed, just briefly, by the delusion that the Vikes might well be on their way to their very first SB.

But once again . . . . not.

A friend of my boss was hit by a car at 55+ mph in Georgia a few days ago. 8 broken ribs and a fractured spinal something or other. He's breathing on his own, but in ICU.

He's a nice guy I've met a few times in the shop, was doing a tour up the east coast back home to VA.

Oh, to be a lifelong Vikes fan - you KNOW that every 10 years or so, the Vikes will be a very, very serious threat to win it all... despite history, they'll lull you in to thinking that it really will be different this time... and as soon as you wholeheartedly believe, they hit you in the gut, waiting briefly for slack-jawed stupor to take hold, so they can reach down your maw and pull out your no-longer-beating heart and dash it against the sharp, bitter rocks of broken dreams.


Or something like that.

How much are the cheapest tickets to see a game? Do they price themselves out for many fans? It seems to be happening a lot in sports.

Pcad, my brother just purchased his bike. Should take delivery in a few days.
When we ride together, should I make him suffer? Or take a nice leisure ride?

Do what gsteinb would do. Try to crush his soul so that he will want to go home crying to Mommy and give up the sport.

Hardly. I ride for sanity. Racing is the antithesis of that.

BTW, it's going to be 80s in the NYC area all weekend. Will the warm weather streak last longer than the Mets winning streak?

If the Mets pitching stays this good, they'll win all their remaining games.






It won't.

The Detroit airport is the only one I've encountered where vandalism insurance is offered at Hertz. That tells you something.
