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

If you're shopping in the women's section, you're doing something wrong.

I passed by the Thursday night group ride earlier on my way to the gas station

I hope I am back to doing these group rides by the end of next month. I dont want to push it too hard and take a step backward as far as my back is concerned. I need to worry about somewhat building back up to where I was at first.

so the practice crit was slow today because a break got away, but the womans world champion showed up and she ended up spending a lot of time near a smo like me. (she is just tuning up for the big race in philly this weekend, but still pretty awesome) When I first saw her I figured maybe a world champion for some obscure event like a specifc age group track event, but nope just the freakin 2011 world road race champ. She was super smooth.

PS When a pro team vehicle pulls into your local practice crit and unloads a few people it feels a little weird

garmin (slowish due to a bit of wind and the break stayed away)

Honestly it was kinda hard to tell in person. One of the girls she came with was much prettier. She was really small.

Went out for a nice dinner with some of my family. Lobster Bisque, filet, chocolate cake, and some beer from a local brewery. Doesn't get much better.

that is the plan... might not stay the whole thing. Some of the guys are doing a ride in the middle of the race, but I will be with the wife so I don't know what we will do. Maybe get something to eat in manayunk.

I used to go when I lived in Delaware. We'd start out on the Parkway and work our way out to the art museum and Lemon Hill.

Got a flat on my ride last night. However, two guys on bikes stopped to see if I needed help and we ended up riding together for a while. Small groups are way more fun than solo rides. And a not fully inflated rear tire is not really that much fun to ride on.

Three is too many.

Two is a lot.

One 'n a half is just right.
