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 "flip-top head" me and my mates used to call it. Like the Reach toothbrush ads.

He spoke of you as if you'd moved overseas:

"Geez, that's a name I haven't heard for a long time. I haven't seen him since he moved away.
Ed always looked super fit, tanned and ready to go"

I keep a low profile these days.....none of my old mates need to see me in my current condition.

the key word in that sentence is "LOOKED super fit"....


Geez....I only moved from Glen Iris to Sunbury.....but as Hitchy will attest, that's akin to another country!!

Thought for the day:
