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

It's very difficult, after a night of drinking, to get up and do it again.

But alas, Coors Field beckons.

All this drinking and no riding is making me feel slu tty. I miraculously avoided eating a hot dog at the game yesterday, however.

Read the health inspection report--that should help.

it works fine as long as after it drips, you wipe the excess.

With all of that drinking. A hot dog wouldn't make much difference.

I think Coors Field got crushed in that report. Warm fridges and fruit flies in the whiskey bottles.

handlebars are a nasty grey colour. saddle is a ripped up, scuffed, electrical taped heavy 20 year old black saddle. The arione is waiting to be called into service when the old saddle dies which judging from recent rides is not far off. the foam seems to be moving under the outer (fake?) leather covering. ridges have appeared which digs into my nads.
