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

Here it's KKJZ with 9 hours of blues on the weekends. Lots of new stuff as well as the classics.

I'm having trouble finding the old Coors commercial about it going nationwide. This one trying to convince NY to drink the stuff is pretty sweet though.

I may be a bit jealous that I don't have a Jazzmaster of my own.

People I know, and some I don't, are doing a century with 13,000 feet of climbing this weekend. I will not be joining them. I may opt for a wussy club ride with 7000 feet in 85 miles, I can handle that.

Are you using any floor racks?
Nope.

I know that area very well, but only from the seat of a bike or car. That 'hood is way, way, WAYYYYYY beyond my budget. Good climbs in the San Rafael hills, though - Art Center, Sacred Heart, Chevy Chase, Glenoaks...

How the hell am I supposed to get mad at my 9 year old for sneaking in to my 4 year old's room so that they can listen to Queen together?
"OK son but just another hour or 2 and then that's it straight to bed".

I have a daughter that is a huge Styxx fan. She's seen them in concert over a dozen times. It's awesome

Good thing Wayne isn't trying to play engineer because that's a structural engineer's problem, not a civic engineer's problem.

Appears to be some interior corrosion behind that break and not a cut. But, what do I know.

We have many medical professionals here on the forum. I'm sure one or more of them can direct you to a mental health specialist.
