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

I just got home from a nice mountain bike ride. 7 miles, then it was dark. But fast! It was a lot of fun. Technical trails with a friend of mine. It was real muddy, and I nearly crashed jumping a log since my chain ring clipped it. Power washed the bike when I got home (bad idea, but I'm lazy tonight). It's clean now. Time to go shower.

42 road miles and a nice quick mountain bike ride. Not bad at all.

I don't know what's wrong with you people. I rode 32 miles this evening and didn't have any problems.

Then again, I'm not a rank amateur.

you are kind of sub amateur, since you don't enter amateur races you would be filed as a "rec rider" I believe

Who's going to win the Stanley Cup? And, relatedly, do either of these teams have a full-time goaltender? Or did they just bring some guys up from the minors?

Hey Pcad,

Look what a degree at NYU can get you these days.

Maybe Pcaddette can get a degree in religious and women’s studies?

hey pcad

Has anyone ever stopped to admire your bike? it happened to me today. I stopped at a cafe and an off duty cyclist (just out for brunch) came up to me and quizzed me about my bike. He was well impressed. He was even more impressed with the price. He asked me if i minded telling him how much the frame cost and i asked him to guess. He guessed £3,000+. His jaw dropped when i told him £900

I rode half a century yesterday. A metric century, that is.

Never again . . . until the next time.

During the ride, it rained on the start point (and presumably elsewhere), but thanks to my awesome route-seeking skills I avoided the rain altogether.

My wife rode a mini century just to get to work the other day. It was a mile each way.

Did she work up to it with a metric Fred century?

Actually, she did. It was the first time for her on a bike since last summer.

Hey Gomer I hit 4000 miles for the year this week. Bear in mind I took a whole week off in May after my spectacular Nyack Ride Crash. Do you find this intimidating?
