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

So true ^^

I really like the responsiveness from sram... *shift, shift* - *kachunk, kachunk*

or Shimano *shift, shift* - *whoosh, whoosh*

It's like driving stick versus driving an automatic.

Campy idiots live with their stupid choices. That is sufficient payback for me.

Open your mind. If you put Record on your S2, you'd love it. Dial it in, use it for a while, and you'd believe. There's no doubt.

Instead, you resort to being a blowhard.

5000 feet of climbing over 80 miles is actually a pretty nice Saturday ride. Alone?

I go out for seven hours for epic East Tennessee cycling. I expect that during that time someone here might come up with something intelligent to say. Instead, I'm greeted with stuff like this:

Or even worse yet, this:

No, not every kid plays soccer. I don't follow high school sports, but I'm pretty sure only some of them around here have teams. And I know for certain that UT, which has a top ten athletic budget in America, doesn't have a men's soccer team--only a women's one.

So no.

55 miles alone, 25 miles with the Road Nazis and Freds of the Bergen County Park Ridge ride, which is like the Nyack Ride Lite.
