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

I'm supposed to be leading the club's group ride tomorrow morning but the weather isn't looking to promising.
Love the Dirty Harry series. We might have to have a Clint film festival at the rjones28 theater this week.

Since RU asserts I'm this guys sock I figured I would offer a random piece of text he's offered up lately. Even VBear would tell you that this was risky. I lost it around the point he brings the dope farmers dog along as a literary effect to separate the dobermans and pit bull.

I see no comparison to myself anywhere.

Jones and LC, I don't watch TV or movies but I still have to wonder where Eastwood went off the rails. He had a long running streak of very good movies in his younger days and now his stuff sounds like womens book club fodder. So the Dirty Harry with the orangutan was a compromise but it was still a knock em down shoot it movie in between the obvious bathroom breaks.

I simply cannot get enough of the lunacy surrounding this cultural celebration.

I'm up way too early. Got a crit race this morning. This should be interesting, 1.2mile loop 10 laps. This by far the shortest race I've ever done. Not sure what to expect, but I'm sure it will be fast.

Public Service Announcement for the day: be a little more cautious when posting schwag photos taken with mobiles - this morning, I've come across a few photos with GPS info embedded. It's not so smart to say, "look at my new covetous stuff!" while simultaneously providing a street view of the garage that it's stored in. Not smart at all.

The group ride I was supposed to lead this morning was cancelled due to rain. Looks like I'll be putting my miles in this afternoon instead.

Oh, I just ordered a new pair of bibs and a jersey. Woohoo!!!

By the way, is it a bad thing to have to apply neosporin to your nipples? Just curious, a "friend" of mine just had to do that.
depends on why his nips are sore. Or better yet how they got sore. but to be serious. if there is no reason that they are sore he should get checked out as I understand it can be a symptom of testicular cancer.

Electrical storms all friggin' day are dumb. I drove home in a hail storm yesterday. Then today was a charity ride which I was a sponsor of. Some idiots actually rode (I was disappointed in the organizers for not canceling). There have been 3 more electrical storms since. I did not ride.

I did see one of these at a new Tulsa bike shop though. It is the new local home for bike schwag. They also carry Pinnarello, Cannondale, Orbea, and BMC.

Rando, I hope you know that comparing you to Eclectus is a compliment. You two are my favorite posters. You just never know what you are going to get.

So, I should go to photobucket and delete all my photos?

Okie Dokie.

Check privacy settings in both Photobucket and on your camera/phone. You can also strip EXIF data through most imaging applications. GPS tagging on photos can be cool, but I don't need an internet full of kooks knowing what's inside my house and where my house is. Since you come off as being a little facetious in tone, I'll just ask what you think of the golf course a couple blocks away.

From what I'm seeing, Flickr doesn't retain and/or display GPS data in the EXIF file, whereas Photobucket does.

I wasn't being facetious, why do you assume the worst?

I checked that out on Photobucket. Sure enough, there are lines items for GPS in the photo information tab. Mine have zeros there.

I don't golf, but I hear the apts have a waiting list. They have nice sidewalks.
