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

Happy Bday pal. If you were there I'd give you a big Pcad kiss (no tongue), then I'd give you your Bday present (a 9mm Glock) and you could shoot me with it.

We really should have a Pcad Mt. Doom BBQ and you should all come here you know.

You all know it's true. I can put some of you up and the rest can stay 4 miles from here at the Holiday Inn Express, it will make you smarter.

Hahaha! Nice ones RollCNY!


Looks like it's gonna break 100 F here today. This means more swimming in the river for me. I wish they had Bike/Swim Duathlons cuz I'm getting pretty buff in the water.

Nobody puts WA/OR heat jokes on the internet, so here's an AZ one:

My undergrad is in Sociology. They actually complement each other in college, but not in real life.

Yep sure is. I'd pass on the pcad kiss, but I'd let Sam kiss me for sure. I already have a 9mm Glock 17, plus I could never shoot you, even if it did mean ******* would get one less vote in November.

I am in, but it must be done when you are in a healthy state, so there are no excuses when you are dropped.

Actually he is older than that. I made an error. Elvis died the year my sister was born. My sister is 4 years older than I am. So how much older is LC than me?

I'm so disgusted with his campaign and the whole political scene in the USA today that I'm ready to just not go to the polls. It's utter fail everywhere I look, including on the Democrat side. It's very disheartening.

Interesting. Thanks for the responses.

The thought of suing someone wouldn't have crossed my mind.

The only time I could invision suing someone is if either a contract was breached or if a product was defective and restitution could not be made.

I also agree with that, sbxx.

My last jury duty call, I was asked by the lawyer if I had an issue with a neighbor suing a neighbor for falling on their icy walk. I asked if she was blind, and he had no answer. I also asked if she was invited onto his property. Again, no answer. I wasn't what he was looking for.

It sounds like we all need to vote for Gary Johnson. Eff the establishment puppet feminine hygiene products. You guys all know he raced Leadville this year, as well as 8 of the last 10 years. I had to throw that in part about cycling in to keep it on topic, and not political. haha

One thing good about Obama, he admitted to smoking marijuana, and liking it, while blocking any efforts to legalize it. Upon doing so, he paved the way for the likes of mountain bike racers to run for President.
