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

You can have two of my cats if you want. I'll stuff them in a flat rate box.

He's been very tight lipped since returning home. I suspect he's angling for more lap time.

More than once VV cat got shut in a neighbor's garage. One time he even got closed in a crawl space under a nearby house.

I hope you find him/her soon.

42 miles with three tough climbs back to back to back. Windy again this evening as well, I think I got lucky enough to get a tailwind about 5 miles out of the enitre ride. My legs are definately feeling it and tomorrow evening's ride is going to be rough.
