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

Waiting for the government showdown is like New Years Eve. The TV has a countdown timer.

That must have made you nostalgic for riding in England.

P.S. Razor says "hi".

GSMNP posts this:

Newfound Gap Road (U.S. 441) would remain open to through traffic only. No stopping or parking along the road or at trailheads & overlooks is permitted, & all restroom facilities would be closed, including those at Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg, TN, the Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee, NC, & Newfound Gap. The Clingmans Dome Road which is accessed off Newfound Gap Road would be closed.
How are they going to stop people from pulling over?

If you can slip through the gate, this would be a great opportunity to go riding up there. Hmm.

I think his 41 access is suspended. He's still on Twitter, with all us cool kids.

Self-imposed exile as fas as I know. I do not believe we suspended his access, unless I'm misinformed.

In which case I'll just say "I misspoke".

Works for the politicians.

That was uncalled-for harshness.

He said somewhere that he had to keep logging out to see Road, so I think that we thought he was b-worded.

I don't know how cool it can be, if I have an account.

How far can you go? You're on an even smaller island now than you were before. How many miles is it across?

Twitter is telling me there is probably a deal to avert the shutdown this weekend.
