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

How about that time at that race where you tipped over on the starting line?

Okay, so to equalize the edge 500 order (which would possibly lead to ultimate road nazism) I had to buy a handlebar mounted water bottle cage. It's for the cross bike in the school year after I spilled expresso all over myself today while commuting. I comes off soon as I hit the mud.

Has Lance lost his luster? He withdrew from Milan-San Remo due to the "stomach flu" and I don't see a mention of it on page 1 or anywhere in the 217.

Also, is it true that tomorrow's race in Central Park for the Pro/1/2/3 is only 4 laps? Can something that pathetic even be called a race?

It's 60º in Manhattan @ 3:30AM in late March. That has to be 20º warmer than I've ever seen it at this time of year before. That will be nice.

10AM. Bedtime. Another early AM city race tomorrow.

That was perfect today. I got yelled at by two team mates and helped with the unsuccessful chase. Oh well.

It's 52º in Miami @ 7:00AM in late March. That has to be 20º colder than I've ever seen it at this time of year before. Something ain't right here.
