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

75F dew point this evening. A few times my sunglasses started to fog up.

As if all the sweat wasn't bad enough . . . .

Brett Favre has gotten fat.

For a modest fee I'll accept him at Camp Velo Vol and take care of that before the season starts.

This thread will soon pass a popular thread started in 2003. Remarkable how much time we have to do this instead of riding our bikes.

I may or may not have the infection, but I've added it to the quiver of excuses. Do antibiotics make you slower? (there's another one).
Yeah, I had it a while ago. If you got it quick it shouldn't be a problem. I didn't get mine real quick -- you get achy joints and feel like you have a flu, if you don't get it quick.

Is that the store in Austin? My road nazi riding buddy comes from there. I thought everyone and everything from texas is meant to be huge. He's a skinny roadie who climbs like a mountain goat.

Correct.

But my flight leaves August 5th. Nothing like 10+ hours in a coach airplane seat to cramp your legs. No worries. By August 6th I'll be floating in a pool overlooking the Mediterranean.
