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 may develop an interest yet. It could still be gestating.

So, this heap is the number 2 thread by number of posts, behind "What road bike do you have?"





Pathetic.

Pathetic.
Weeellllll - "The Aussie Thread" seems to be a single thread with (at least) four parts. Of the four parts on the first page of threads, they weigh in at 8000-ish posts, 6000-ish posts, 4000-ish posts and 800-ish posts... add'em all together, and 'Addiction' is nuthin'.

Where did you ride? I can't find anywhere good. Hains point sucks now.

Also, I'm still indecisive about shaving.

The Tuesday/Thursday's are out of the Davidsonville Park and Ride (Rt. 50 and 424 a few miles east from the Beltway).

I made it to the end of Rt. 2 tonight, but just didn't have the beans to do Polling House.

good warm up. There's a Saturday one too. It's a little less stupid, but is around 60 miles. I take it you're not driving just yet?

I can drive. I have a license, but my mom won't let me take her car. Or let me buy one, even if I pay all costs. I can only drive (and am forced to most of the time) when she's with me.

I just quit asking my wife. It took her a couple weeks to notice.... the extra razor in the shower should have been a give away.

I just pulled off my 7800 crank to give it a good cleaning. This thing is impressively light and stiff.

If you're going to pull off your crank it's good to be impressed with the stiffness.
