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

The original Addiction threads are romanized, so I thought we'd revisit that custom. Why the heck not?

Have at it.

Don't forget that I'm short and somewhat poor. Actually, all things considered, being poor ain't so bad; at least I have a road bike.

5'10" isn't tall. You have to be over 6' to be considered tall in my book. 5'10" is pretty much average.

Both of which were posts poking fun at me.

So I was feeling nostalgic this morning, and I wanted to trace everything back to the recent turning point in my life. So I went back to September Addiction, and looked around. I remember it clearly now. This is all the result of iJen standing me up. I now have a new career, a girlfriend, a new outlook on life, and I shot a Barret M82a1 .50bmg sniper rifle. Thanks iJen.

I think they call that a target-rich environment. We did top 4k posts last month.
