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

For some reason I find these retro TV shows more entertaining than many of the dopey shows they make today.

Want a good ab workout? Try spitting tough wood.

You softies won't have lasted 20 minutes doing what I did on Sunday. Cleared some brush, too.

I'm a real manly American.

My other cat's name is Twinkle. That's what happens when 5 year olds name your pets. I hope I never have to walk around our neighborhood looking for her, screaming 'TWINKLE!' at the top of my lungs.

This thread has introduced a compelling blend of Foo and Schwag interspersed with the most pointless topic of all, Road Cycling.

The utter futility of it all is arguably a Monument to BF.

Hey pCad, I tweaked my back, now even little bumps shoot pain up my back. Do you get that with your bad back?

My back hurts all the time, but not when I'm on the bike.

I like it up here on Mt. Doom and all, but all things considered, I'd rather have a beach house in friggin Malibu.

RichinPeoria,

Why were you gone for a while and then came back? Were you in jail?

While out on a ride through the Mulholland Highway corridor on Sunday, a pair of yellow Lamborghini's passed me, then pulled over at a stop sign just ahead. The two clean cut, nattily dressed male drivers exchanged a few words, then drove off together in the same direction. Ghey?
