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

Some guy on a guitar forum I frequent is actually arguing with me because I said road cycling is stupid.

They mostly suck, but on the other hand, it's hard not to look cool with the right guitar hanging off our pathetic shoulders.

This town is also been historically devoid of good and/or cheep hot wings. Bout to hit up some cheep ones now. 25 cents per wing during blazer games. they're super sweet, tho, like bbq wings. they're cooked better than BWW tho

Mrs. rjones28 likes bbq wings. I prefer hot sauce.

The Anchor bar may have invented the Buffalo wing, but Duff's makes a better one.

Your father-in-law is an Arkansas fan? I'm getting a kick out of it. Not only is Petrino slimeball, he's an idiot slimeball. Did he think he could go cruising around Fayetteville with his new "employee" and no one would notice?

I've been working on getting a fixed gear put together y'all. Dremel'd out the fork dropouts to fit the front wheel. Put a stem and bars on. Still need to pull the cottered BB, get cog/lockring and find a slimmer HS locknut to accommodate a cable hanger or find a caliper brake with proper reach. Then it'll be on the road!
