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

If this is indeed the case, why have you not turned pro?

In the Idiot Contest that rages between this and the 33 Twitter Thread, it's like one of those unbearable and interminable stupid friggin scoreless soccer games.

Flip a coin.

At a time of despair in Addiction, I will happily mention the good.

Pcad chatters about Taylor Phinney, which sparks conversation in sbxx household. Conversation then moves to Davis Phinney. Wife says let's do this, which supports the Davis Phinney Foundation - https://www.coppertriangle.com.

Indirectly, this nonsensical thread donated to charity.

My pal Dr. Art and I did a two man century two years ago. We raised about $2,000 for the D. Phinney Foundation at that time.

The Mets suck less than one would have expected for 2010.

It's a total tease.

So today the Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision in Bilski. That could be a Pcad cha-ching development.

Where did you get that idea? I can't remember the last time I did an organized fred century. Besides, I don't have any road nazi credentials besides my USA Cycling license, which doesn't count for much.

But can you reduce the more abstract applications to a drawing? Or do you do more than drawings?

Maybe he does animated drawings of business practices? A glorified cartoon artist.

FWIW, I'm just a chubby and slow cat 4. I get blown off wheels all the time and just started to hang in the pack on the hill road races. But at least I know it. Razor comes on here and brags about how fast he is, when really, he has no idea.
