Addiction XVIII

Notices
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

A special kind of fool. Oh well, at least I have an appointment for some Blizzak WS70s. Wonder if they make Blizzaks that can clear the stays on my SS...
