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

So Addiction, the final parts arrived Wednesday, and the build is almost done. Providing there is adequate lighting Saturday, I shall join Flickr and post large pictures.

I still have to decide on which saddle to use, and I may post with both, so that I can receive informed opinion from the Cohort.

That was a pretty harmless comment I made, considering what else goes on in here.

Could be photoshopped. Looks like the font for DeRuyter and Penn Yan is larger.

Take photos of the Cinelli while you're at it.

Tom in the house.

I can't say I'm disappointed all the gun talk is going away. We've been arguing about it for years with little progress, saying the same things. Time to move on.

I agree but Solo is talking about the big pumpkin again, and she may be even more dangerous....

Hawks are 4-0. Hossa has five in four games, including the game winner in OT last night.

Let's not forget this hit in April. He was medically cleared mid November.

(Note: I am assuming the personalized naming and starting posts with "So.." is still in effect, and is not as ephemeral as "Bad spelling and grammar Day".)
To be fair, those are the overnight lows from yesterday. I think we hit 15° by mid-day.

Penn Yan is slightly more populous than Chittenango.

One mile run in the snowy cornfield with Benson for my lunchtime outing. It's a hilly stretch, so there was some unintentional skating on the downhill.

No Strava data for this activity.
