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

Hi everybody,
I'm (obviously) new here. I've been reading for a while and just decided to register. Same ol' song and dance, I know.

This upcoming season will be my first racing for a team and I'm still paying off a brand new bike (hopefully before March). Anyways, just a bit about myself and "hey."

I did the same thing. I wish more stores would still do layaway. You've got some great riding up there in God's Country.
