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

That is quite possibly the most beautiful thing ever created.

It's a cool and breezy 14C here today ... early signs of autumn. However, when the clouds clear off a bit and temp warms up a little it should be a nice afternoon for a ride.

Next week looks scrumptious for riding.
Close to 50's by the weekend.
I'll try to get in 40+.

Well, I feel for you all in the cold hinterlands of this great nation. It is going to be sunny and 75 degrees today in Southern California. I am not rubbing that in, but instead conveying my shared cabin fever as I have a severe sinus infection that has got me on some seriously heavy antibiotics that will be keeping me out of the sun for 10 days. And on top of that I can't turn my head or look down without wanting to cry. If it was cold and snowy out, I don't think this would suck as bad as it does.

Winter is when I buy stuff. Have built a bike in the winter 5 of the last 6 years. I'm sick of listening to myself whine, so I spend in silence and count the days. It's been said once in this thread, it's light out now when I leave for work and it is still light out when I leave work.

That makes me smile.

Me too. My passion for riding turns to passion for buying in the Winter,
snapping up all those deals and prepping my bike for the Spring.

Then I go from Cabin Fever to...

Today is the last day of summer. And it gave us a taste of winter with a cold rain most of the day. Here's hoping for a nice autumn.

That's right. Aussies get it in reverse of us. Well, enjoy it!

Bikes: too numerous to count

I can stand only so much snow riding

There have been some weekends warm and clear enough for road riding but my wife trumped me with her desire to go tandeming. It's all good

9 more days until it's officially Spring!
This weekend, we spring the clock forward an hour!
More daylight! Yeah! And I just got my bike back today from the shop!

Goal now is to get a wheelset before the first day of Spring.

It's almost over folks...we're almost there.
