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

Maybe its to separate it from "mountain climbing"

I think I got a bit stupid this evening. I was having dinner with someone from SF on his way back there and as usual I was boring anyone who would listen about my cycling trimphs. Then it turns out he is a cyclist too and i think i have unwittingly agreed to go out to SF to climb some mountains with him. Me and my big mouth.

Nope. It wouldn't have anything to do with that. It's not confirmed yet, we couldn't have an appointment scheduled for a month. At worst, should we not fix it, I would continue to get migraines some times. It's not a life threatening thing or something that would have any effect on heart rate.

But like I said, the whole ordeal is not definite, but it's possible.

Yeah but from what we see when they come down here, to harass us non racing folk, one you're not missing much and two they are all out of sticks.

You would have been better off with the ice cream. You're too fat for this sport anyhow.

I had ice cream for the first time in a month yesterday. It was delicious.
