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

I assume you're aware of all the recording and other sophisticated music paraphernalia Apple sells in the Apple Store?

I'm a coffee addict, but geeez - I'd have to set up my desk in the bathroom if I drank that much.

Oh goodness that looks tempting. I have a biometric screening for work today, get $200 off healthcare insurance for doing it. And if I attain all super healthy levels I get even more $$. So really it means that after I am done I am definitely swinging by the cafeteria for a tasty donut...

I'm entertained by how the ads change to mirror the conversation in the thread. A couple days ago, the ads were for alcohol and drug rehab.

This morning, there are ads for school tutors. Huh... wonder what that means. Could the intelligence level be dropping?

If you are enough of the newb to think a 30 minute ride is going to tell whether a high end or custom bike is right for you, you probably should not be buying a high end or custom bike yet.

That is all.

That's weird. All of the capital letters were changed to lower case in my last post. Even the quote.

I think it is supposed to do that. For some reason it did not on my donut pic.

Well, that's debatable.
