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 also found out the other day during a very wet group ride that I had absolutely no brakes when I almost ran over one of my friends that had to do a quick stop due to a van pinching us.

I am looking at my first set of mass produced wheelset (not including Zipps) in several years. I am looking at a set of Ksyrium SL's. They are light, durable, and they can hold my weight. Plus they have pretty red hubs.
Fulcrums....they are sweet.

I agree with the author, 'innit' just sounds so ignant.

That ride kicked my ass yesterday... should I do a recovery ride or could I do another 20 miles today at my normal effort?

$10 for arm warmers is still pretty good. Not like I look particularly good when riding in the cold anyway.


(but I already have a pair of black ones)

Those flowers are amazing. Aren't those the ones that droop down to the ground when they fill up with rain water?
