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'm at work now, can't you tell how much I'm doing being in here.

We only really work until 10, then we have a morning tea, and go home after that. And, get paid for the whole day

Hey, I don't work, unless you call what I do from home "work". But I guess I do go into the home office everyday. Shame I can't ride my bike to work...

Another edition of LardButt on cycling news. [/URL]https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/?id=2004/lardbutt_santa[/URL]

Not as good as the "evil clown" edition (https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/...utt_evil_clown), but funny just the same. I've just gotta see a gerbil on crack before I die

Haha! I got Clif bars from Santa. Actually, my courier. Ok, my dad and step-mom sent them. Still, they're Clif bars. Yummo! I'll save one for you Munchie.

Cheers! I think. Or did I just get conned into sampling a Clif bar so that I become addicted and have to buy ever increasing supplies of same from the sole Australian distributor? Visions of South Park (Wall-Mart episode)

Oh dear, all class arent ya, greywolf.

You know, there was a time when c*m was not permitted on here, as in the entirely legitimate use of road bike-c*m-mountain bike (as in hybrid)?

EDIT: In fact, it still isn't. How did you get away with cumming? Americans barstardising the English language again. Tsk...

It's an energy bar, not crack. Takes 3 or 4 of them to get addicted. And it can be up to 3 months before the rest of my Clif stuff arrives, so you'd be weaned by then anyway. Thylo, Climbo and Bravey all know that Clif products are the *****.

Oh mate, you're in real strife now. Rocky's just put a contract out on you, and Cobber is the magic word to execute the deed!
