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

You don't get a body like mine by accident.

I'll worry about the bike fit, you worry about promulgating this pointless thread.

With any luck, one day I'm going to be an old guy diddling around on a cervelo with zipps, so I won't make any comments on this one.

First time outside in about 5 days.

I didn't realize Pcad had posted a picture of him riding as a solicitation for bike fit critiques. I'll get my analysis up shortly.

On another note, I just got back from a nice 30 mile ride at the park, 69 degrees. Since I jinxed it, it might be time for 2-a-days before it starts to snow again...

If I have to buy one bit of bike crap every week or two to keep this thread going, this could get expensive.

Yet there are Road Nazis in the 33 who hate me.







They probably hate Nancy Pelosi too. I mean go figure.

It's warm - mid 50s-60s, but there's a lot of flooding where I was planning to ride. Plus I had SOLs today, so I slept in rather than going for a ride.
