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

Nope. I want to display it anyway, in my room. I tried to put it on the kitchen wall but someone said no.

Interestingly I had nine minutes less riding time than April, yet did 57 more miles.

It's so much better in the summer, isn't it?

OK then.

Razor, just keep riding your bike and don't worry what anyone other than me has to say about it.

Sometimes I ride 100+ miles in a day. Sometimes I do the Rocket Ride. Today I will combine these two endeavors.

That rarely ends well.

That's a cool bike. The one on the first page. I have been away for a while. Nice to see nothing has changed.
