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

Rowan, I am glad you are not part of the 60% of Australians trapped on the ice ship.

Where is @ls01 and the blitz of catch up commentary? He has a year's backlog built up.

The conditions for road cycling suck. I am going XC skiing later today instead.

One of my cycling friends insisted that I Strava it.

Morning. It's a lovely fine and warm day here. Hope everyone had a good break. Time for coffee and then a ride into town.

No ride today.

Just came in from a one hour XC Ski jaunt. Strava said 3.3 miles in 1 hour. Seems pretty slow, but I did have to cut my own trail...
