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 did think it odd that I didn't recognize many of the people there. And that most of the attendees didn't seem to care that I was there.

is it terribly fredilicious to want to ride at organised events? i really enjoyed riding in a different place and not worrying about getting lost and always having someone to chase. i'm thinking of signing up to other events.

Just as funny to me is the woman in the video. "Why would they do that?"

And the main guy, "They're are going to beat our asses, get out of here!".. then later, "I would have pulled over if there was a spot to pull over"

And toward the end, there is a guy that sounds just like Napoleon Dynamite

No one threatens my dog. I realize it gets a little more complicated when that person is your neighbor.

On a side note, I bought a machete at the hardware tent sale for $1.39.

You must have big "counties."

There's nothing wrong with organized rides; Road Nazis here ride them. I would do more were it not for the expense/travel.

It takes a pretty big ******* to make any kind of threat to a neighbor. To mess with someone's loved one is just a stupid.

Hey pCad, did your dog poop on his lawn?

Hey, did you know that if you edit a post that you have posted after, but no one else reads, it doesn't show edited?
