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

The Di2 build of my Roubaix is done, but still at the Bike Barn. Total weight is 16 pounds. 15 ounces.

Probably equal footing with the Habanero, but only time will tell.

They sold the Stanley Hotel. I wonder where people will register their cars now? That address has more auto registrations than any other address because there is no emission testing in Estes Park, even though it's in Larimer County, which does require it.

Back when I used social media it was called a PM, private message. Makes a lot more sense than this DM bull crap.

Where is that cloud, I need something to yell at.
