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

I liked the guy who thought he was going to get props for throwing water on the teenagers and then got flamed. It's always fun when things don't go the way the OP was hoping.

We seem to have one of those every month or so during the nice weather. They never end well.

I'm confused by Bike MS. I paid $55 to join. I don't think I'll raise the $200 unless I pay it myself. But they won't let me ride unless I raise the $200? I didn't really know that when I signed up. I figured the $55 covered my slot.

I've done bike to the bay for MS the last 3 years. I pay $50 and have to raise $250. The $50 pays for your snacks and stuff on the stops I believe. Yeah you have to raise money, it kinda sucks, I have always raised over $650 though.

Well said Velo Vol.

Seems the exact opposite is going on.

I see. Another BF nutcase. One of these days, one of these morons is going to get charged for doing stupid shlit like this. And against the advice of counsel, they'll come crying here looking for sympathy and get flamed.

what i don't understand is you have access to white garage door but you failed on 3 occasions to take the picture in front of it. is that just gratuitous acts of rebellion or just forgetfulness?

I'd recommend more specificity to reach the targeted audience.

This is a good train wreck thread from another forum about watches. This 16 year-old attention seeking kid posts his "new" Rolex. Someone calls it out as fake. Train wreck ensues. There will be casualties.
