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

Must be nice to go home at the end of the day and know that you made a difference. I sold a mixing console and a few speakers to an amusement park today. Not sure I get the same sense of pride as you do!

Nicely done!

The backlash was overwhelming only because it's one of the dumbest ideas ever.

New Coke comes to mind, but I do believe that Race Together beats New Coke by several furlongs.

They really just should have had it pre-printed on the cups. Why put that burden on the barristers.

My training has been crap this year due to moving, butt surgery and work stuff so I decided I would just focus on enjoying riding the bike and let the fitness be what it would be.

Problem is I enjoy going fast. Dammit.
