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

What's wrong with this?

4 of us had a nice ride today. Stopped for a slice of pizza, which is a lot by itself, but one guy went into a different place and came out with a giant brownie which he hacked into 4 pieces so I had to eat that, too.
Other friend seems to be doing better, a lot more like himself. Don't know if he's ready to go back to 300 mile weeks but he wants to ride Saturday and might go out again before then.

I am tempted to try when I get back from work on Monday.

Also, I’ll be in Austin for 2 long over nights, as well as Detroit.

I’ll prolly hang out at Johnies the first day, any other recommendations would be cool if anybody has any.
Rent a gravel bike and ride around the lake. It’s not a workout, but a nice way to enjoy a day.

An email appeared in my Inbox - "These Foods Destroy Memory! {AVOID!}"

So I moved it to my Spam folder.

10 minutes later, I look in my Inbox, and what do I see? "These Foods Destroy Memory! {AVOID!}" So I move it to my Spam folder

But then I thought, "Didn't I move that to the Spam folder? I could swear I remember doing that!" So I look in my Spam folder, and now there are TWO emails there, titled "These Foods Destroy Memory! {AVOID!}"

I suspect they're trying to gaslight me.

19.24 Million bikes valued at $1.96 Billion? That's only $100 a piece.

My dad drove a 53 Buick out here from Cleveland in 1956. He later had a 56 Century wagon and a 56 Special.
I never had one but I liked the 57.

I have a different Easy Rider scene in mind regarding ebikes, but it's violent and I already committed one boo boo today.
