Break time...

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

Break time...

My post count is way too high (no offense intended PCad! ).
Time for me to withdraw a bit. Going to do some traveling.
Just wanted to apologize to all those I've ever offended.

Want to thank all those who've befriended me.
And those who've helped me with my questions.
And generally thank BF for not being full of snobs.
And thank the Mods here for being patient with me.

I'll be back some time. You guys take care and enjoy your rides.

You know you get a free toaster oven if you get to 5000.

These departure threads always seem to result in the person returning rather quickly.

Oh no. I was just about to ban you posthumously. I need to build up my ban count . . . I'm slacking.
