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

Congratulations, it did not sound like you were looking forward to this one. I certainly hope that it was below 94 degrees this morning.

I KNEW I should have deflated their tires!

For my efforts, I received a Bontrager multi-tool.

Oh, and by-the-way, that would be MY daughter, who graduates from JMU in less than 4 weeks...

And,

that would be my daughter, who has already gotten a job. Imagine that, a newly graduated college student, with a job!

She got accepted by Teach for America and got her first choice of regions, Eastern North Carolina.

Yep, I'm proud!
