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

Is RU still alive? What about Makel? It looks like the apocalypse is about to begin here.

Got on the scales today, 212 pounds. I'm two pounds away from the 50 pound mark! I still have a long way to go but I'm still happy. I've made one hell of a change in my life since July 3rd last year and I owe it all to cycling.

Woohoo, garmin connect is back up!!!!

Other than it being way to windy today I had a great ride. Got in 63 miles with 2,100 feet of climbing. I think I had a head wind or cross wind about 90% of the ride.

https://connect.garmin.com/activity/79377502

Anywho, gives me 164.8 miles for the week, 515 miles for the month.

fify...you know you wouldn't have been so successful if you hadn't been public about it! A few of the pounds that came off you this week went back on to me as I traveled for business.

But...great job!

Actually, you are probably right. Thanks for the correction.

Wonder if it'll get posted to cyclingtorrents...

Does it need a culprit to murder it? Or might it simply implode under its own weight?

Brad Carson, the guy in the middle, is owner of KirkLee bikes. That frame won "Best Paint" at this years NAHBS in Austin. It was awesome...and he's a nice guy. About two weeks later I caught the end of a news story about how several frames had been stolen from his shop. Damn. *edit* It gets worse...it was 6 complete bikes that were stolen...including one that was featured in Bicycling Magazine’s Dream Road Bike of the Year.

A shame. Unless it was an inside job, odds are they went off with someone who didn't even appreciate them.
