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

One of my favorite memories of him is the look- couldn't have been all acting, right?- on the face of "Garp" when he's drawing the smiley on his pregnant wife's belly. Such utter joy.

Out with the near death story.
Closing time a one of the campground pools. There was a kid (under 10 I guess) sinking to the bottom and not playing around. I jumped in and pulled him out. My uncle revived him. His parents came along and yelled at the kid. He left.

Well, sh*t. I was just thinking of finally getting some padded shorts and actually using my bike as a vehicle instead of a wall-hanging but now I'll feel like I'm letting the side down.
