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

January - 540 miles, 33 hours, 24,167 feet climbing, 20,252 kj's. Not too bad considering I was off the bike sick for a week.

Who is that chic? She is pretty good looking. A bit psycho, but aren't they all?

How is it they don't do this with the 33 Twitter Feed thread? I don't get it.

Because we are unfair pricks. Just saying.....

That and we very, very rarely get any reports on the twitter feed and I have never seen one report on ghost pages in that thread.

this reeks of hollow marketing copy:

How did we improve on the world’s best mechanical gruppo? We started with everything we knew, and then literally started over. Each part was engineered with the twin goals of eliminating the superfluous while focusing on an overall synergy that translates into unmatched performance. Elegant and simple, SRAM RED perfects the riding experience through genuine innovation. SRAM RED changes everything.

The new chainrings look like they were designed by a second grader. Which now puts them behind Shimano, with their third grade chainring design.

Nice. No road bike miles for me in January and, sadly, no snowshoe miles either.

You make it sound like there was more than one other addiction thread.
