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

Did you change your setting on how many posts per page. 25 is default... 10100/25=404...

Razor, I advise you to go as hard as you can as long as you can.

That's because you have your settings set to show 30 posts per page.

You can't go as hard in training as you will in a race.

According to the 33, if you are not leaving a trail of puke, you are not riding hard enough.

I hate country roads. I want my city back. Will have it tomorrow, anyway. My mom made me drive home from dinner (which was lobster mac and cheese by the way), and I nearly took out 3+ mailboxes. There's no streetlights and the roads are all twisty and stuff. The GPS sent me down a friggin unpaved road with tons of pot holes. 'the hell is this? How do you do it?

I'm just not used to pitch black roads. I looked in the rear view mirror and literally just saw black. Not one light.

Mine is okay, but I still took it really slow.

Yes, haha. Only gives you 15 feet of vision. I let cars behind me pass since I was not going 45 on those roads.
