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

Amen.

This helped me through the aftermath of that crazy girl, only unlike SA I moved on and now have a wonderful new girlfriend.

You should set up a dummy free account and check it out! To fully enjoy it you need to do it on a little netbook like this...

The ground was any combination of wet, sandy, salty, icy, slushy, and snowy. It was windy and snowed most of the time. Around 25 miles.
It was perfect !! Left the cars out of the garage, so I could bring the bike right in, turn on the heat, and start the compressor (for blow drying). By the time I was changed the ice on the bike was melted. Blow dry and wipe the rotors with alcohol. Done !! Perfect.

Oh yeah, the last 6 miles was in the dark too. And about 35 - 32F. A long time cleaning the bike, but that's life.

I had been off the bike since Wednesday. I really needed to ride. 3 " to 6" of snow tomorrow. Maybe another ride tomorrow!

Low cell so sorry for your loss. The photo says it all , a guy who seems, just by being,to be saying " come , sit down, let's talk". It is hard to loose grandparents, harder to loose parents, hardest to loose a child. Take care and be well.

Hard to imagine a team could have so much talent that virtually the entire starting five from last year left for the pros.

They may not even make the big dance this year the way they're going.

Callipari called some of his players "uncoachable"! Of course it is not his fault
