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

Start your own business. That's what I did.

200-mile weeks are overrated.

I have a lawyer friend whom I like to think is an exception too. If only she would return my calls.

You know the more famous you get on BF, the more worshipped you are, the more fans you attract, the more groupies who stalk you, the more they want to bring you down.
