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

Honestly, I was star struck. I just mumbled "hi" and got him to sign my Columbia hat and sort of walked off haha. He seemed nice, but very very shy.

No offense taken, I'm about 5'11, I wear a size 30 and I weigh 157. I'm about 5 lbs over my normal weight right now, so that gives you an idea of how skinny Mark really is and how excessively skinny the other pro cyclists are.

Yes that is bicycle heaven, that's the fitting loft at the shop I work at.

No, there are no Treks in there. Kidding of course.

Nice dude, I would love to meet Cav.

just remember, we're all too fat and slow for this sport. It makes me feel that if you weight more than 150lb. you are a Clydesdale.....

I'm confused. So that's Armstrong on the right? Who's the fat guy on the left?
