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 got the whirleys standing in the bike shop after the ride today. I think I got a bit dehydrated. I was utter toast at the end of that ride.

The last time I got those was from pounding beers.

Another 350+ mile week. Looking forward to riding in Greece.

Unsolicited Facebook comment from a pal of mine:

Pete, great seeing you on the ride today. However, because of your very frail frame, I could not draft off of you. I might as well be drafting behind your seatpost. Put on some weight.

The decline of the written language is depressing. And that coming from somebody that spells as poorly as me is saying something.

And of course, it depends who's in the room. But at the pool party with my neighbors today it was not really a big problem.

Did the party kind of end, after you took off your shirt?

No pics of the Addict with the Zipps, in honor of page 404?

Were you prancing around your shirtless svelteness at the pool party? At 52, that could be embarrassing for the younger guys.

What does your wife think?

My wife thinks I'm the hottest guy she's ever been married to.

Hey, it was a pool party. I spent half the time in the pool. I thought it better to lose the shirt.
