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

My cold really got worse. No ride or an easy spin today. I hope I feel up to racing Sunday. This sucks.

This blows.

Thanks to a rockslide, the Cherohala Challenge, my favorite century ride of the year, is canceled.

If you let it slip to the second page, how do you expect to get to 2K?

Why do you think anyone actually cares? If anyone starts to actually give a shlit, it will undermine the very lack of purpose of the entire thread. The only chance this thread has of surviving is if the apathy that sustains it endures.

It's complicated.

Did I ever mention here that I sold a (Motobecane Le Champion w/Ultegra) bike within the past 10 days? Yeah, it had been a source of frustration with months of craigslisting with only scam attempts as a reply. Then a young guy emails me with interest. He and his father meet me in a mall parking lot and they both take it for a spin, then handed me 85% of what I asked for in cash. Persistence pays off. I bought a new camera with part of it, and the rest goes to paying off CC bills.

Like anyone cares.*

* requisite apathy

Thank you!

You liked it for 3 reasons no doubt:
1. Motobecane
2. A successful sale.
3. Excellent use of money - a.) spending on a camera to stimulate the economy, b.) responsible paying off of debt instead of going to Vegas.

I liked it because of the pathetic sell a BD bike to help pay off my overcharged Visa angle.

How can you fit a 12 day work week into a 7 day week?

It's not the camera. It's the 37 different colors, between his uniform, his bike, and his ashey legs.
