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 was just joking about the trolling (to bad only razor jumped at the bait). I am onboard with people making their own choices.

Nice job on your races. You're shaping up to be pretty darn competitive.

Anything helpful was so buried there was no hope for recovery. I remember looking for coasting's homebrew recipe a few days after he posted it. No chance. It was gone.

Who can say? His name is in the wild speculation mix. Amateur plane trackers are posting in other forums as we speak.

I'm old enough to remember when basically no one wore a helmet. The Cinelli hairnets were pretty rare and hardshell didn't exist or was scorned.

I ride one o all group rides and most solo ones but confess to enjoying the occasional lidless ride.

Of course I'm older than Jen.

This is my usual street. 25 mph speed limit for cars, which they follow.
