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

Was that in Nova Scotia? If so, you're not far from where I live.

Check out those PSIMET's.

And notice the lone PSIMET, angel of Chicagoland fighting off the two evil empires.

I love me.

We actually thought we were being unique with Red and Black. We weren't thinking very well.

A new kit is on the way...

Indeed. Lesson learned. My vote was for the yellow mock-up.

Yellow generally wouldn't be my first choice, but it was one of the choices, and the best. Now there will be no choices, only decisions.

Nope, Michigan on Lake Huron (Thunder Bay/Alpena)

I've heard Nova Scotia is beautiful, maybe I can cross there too.

From the Tour de Poway in Oct.

Almost to the top of the first climb which was about 6.5 miles. The fog was crazy thick!



Same ride at the finish.

Nice pic. A bit of unsolicited advice for sure, but from what I can see it seems like your saddle may be really low for you. Check with a local shop or fitter for appropriate advise....but FWIW.

I definitely appreciate any advice! I think it is just the angle of the picture on this one though. I was fitted on the bike about 5 months ago. When my foot is at the bottom of the pedal stroke my knee has a very minimal bend in it. In this pic my right foot is on the up stroke...
