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

But did you do it like Jennifer Beals in "Flashdance", taking off her bra without taking off her shirt?

I think it's just Rob and Nigel (whoever Nigel is) in the booth for that one.

Always! Then I throw the cap and locknut in my jersey pocket, then later bruise a rib trying to dig them out of the washer. Hmmm, maybe I should get a front load washer

Today after work we met the home inspection guy who gave us the report and walked us through the house. Essentially there was not much wrong. The worst was a non functioning garage door opener but we found out the owner was having it fixed tomorrow as well as a couple electrical outlets that weren't working. He wasn't expecting it to sell so fast so he thought he had more time to get it done. We were worried about the roof but he said it was fine and at about mid life. We went out for dinner to celebrate. I had a diet coke and the Mrs. had water. Long day. Good day.

I dunno if they banned booze in the booth at some point or if the Rob just wasn't as excited because Aaron's not his countryman, but he sure is subdued in this one...

I'll likely hit 51,000 first and can simply re-gift whatever you give me for that milestone.

keep them on the new tubes so they don't get a hole punched in them from the stem. No nut on the valve or cap on the stem in use however.
