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

Although, my tubeless set up didn't help when I ran over that nail yesterday.

Best advice is get the cheapest one at the Wal-Mart then post to ask if you got a good buy.

I stopped posting my wordles, but I am typically running 4, with an occasional 3 and 5. Rarely a 6 or a 2.

My favorites are the more "psychadelic" Beatles albums, Sgt Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour, Revolver. But Sgt. Peppers stands out as my absolute fav.

One of the softboiled eggs I ate this morning smelled/tasted a little funky, like not awful, but maybe slightly rotten? IDK. Hopefully I don't have Montezuma's Revenge coming.
