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

It never ends well.
Apparently he's riding with a fractured elbow. This one seems legit, but I'm not sure there's been a race in the last 5 years where Cadel losing time wasn't the fault of something else other than his personal performance. You could learn some excuses from him pcad.

I really don't need Cadel's excuses. Mine are far more numerous and pathetic.

i've done them with nearer 5,000 feet at just over 7 hours.

ride time. total time i think is a bit misleading with all the hanging around posing time.

I'm a thread crasher? Can't say I know what you mean by that but I'm all ears . You mean I am boring or just not fun to respond to?

So I have come to realize that I harbor the delusion that a disturbingly gaunt build and appearance means that I am superior to the rest of the world. What's wrong with me?

i'm in the 7+ hours category. closer to 7.30.
One century I did in 6:15-6:20 range a couple times and about 6:50 one time where it was raining part of the way.

Along the route, not my video.

Discuss.
Gaunt is an adjective that describes a living thing as being bony, thin and/or sickly. It may be used to describe a barren deserted place. "Gaunt" may also refer to people, places or fictional characters.

Here's the trick... You "ARE" superior to most, however, you don't "APPEAR" to be superior. You just apear to be guant, skeletal, emaciated, and underfed.

Simple as that.
