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 put lots of thought into this, I still don't know what my reaction is to this statement, so I decided to save it for later.

Decided to finish fine tuning some cockpit changes I made on the commuter Thursday night and discovered everything between the bearings top cup and the locknut had disintegrated on my headset. The ride to my PT job doing a Spring cleanup for a rich old guy may be ill conceived.

I guess I am a good example of wearing out every part on a cheaply specced bike before you replace them. I have convincingly worn out every part but the brake levers and they are not so good anymore either.

Anyone seen this yet? Specialized Mclaren Venge. No matter how fat your are this bike looks like it will make you fast.

I think rog ditched me this morning. I could not find anyone matching his description at the race.

I ditched the 2nd race. I got yelled at for racing too much the night before and didn't feel all that great.

Ugh, I hope that there's an accompanying bill that protects students from discipline if they walk out of an Intelligent Design lecture.
