What is your "day job" ?

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

It depends. There are many factors, almost all of which are out of my hands. I don't know what Nina you where looking at but there was a multi-disc set where I went back to originals on almost all of it.

Elementary school music teacher during the week and musical hack at the weekends. 2 jobs and three kids means that I ride vicariously through BF. But summer is here - should be able to ride more even with a dinged up achilles. Happy days. And to all those who currently serve and have formerly served, seriously, thank you.

I'm a mechanic(marine and bicycle). The money is better working on boats, but I like bike owners better.

You must be joking. Boat owners are asses, demanding, don't know what they are talking about, and complain that repairs aren't done right and take too long.
