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 did not overeat yesterday, but I did watch football.

I only watch football when I'm around my family. They are a bad influence.

Football is unwatchable without copious amounts of booze and the right people. Even then it's hard to watch though. A local joint recently started a $7 all you can eat wings special during College games which almost has me tempted, but... I don't even know if that would get me there on a Saturday. I mean, c'mon!

I shall be flagging any and all anti-furface posts also.

Happy Black Friday!

I think I lost a pound . . . from stress.

I'm indulging in some black Friday goodness and ordering a 13" MacBook air.

Had a nice ride with some friends today. It wasn't a real fast pace but it hurt me. I still haven't recovered from this cold I have been fighting for a week.

I'm being tempted to buy a computrainer. I had one and sold it a couple of years ago. As much as I hated it I kind of miss it.

So all you idiots who think I am stupid for making my S2 13.5lbs, watch this video. The doper extraordinaire focuses power to weight ratio, yet you idiots still don't get it. Fast forward to 1:30, and listen.

Unless you are a pro being the lightest or the best at the expensive of enjoying life is not worth it. I would much rather be a happy Fred than a person that is over the top that he won't eating a Thanksgiving meal with some pie.
