So we're still watching the incredibly-long and great coverage of the IAAF championships from last year (remember sports?) and AG asks "how do people wind up as decathletes?" I respond "...probably the same way they wind up as triathletes."

Also the headquarters of Purdue. The year I rode the century there was a large contingency of Purdue employees riding in matching kits. They looked exactly like their packaged products in the meat aisle.. not sure if they had “words” afterwards.

Never drive in DC... Most of us believe turn signals charge you by the blink, and signs and lights are suggestions.. Drivers having FaceTime/video calls while driving is a common occurrence

M*******s generally can be found inside the Route 495, inside Route 128, the horn is how you communicate, and directional signal are for tourists. In downtown Boston and surrounding suburbs, if you dive politely, your gonna die. Living in southern New Hampshire, we get the weekend influx of these fine people every weekend.

Also funny is, my sister lives in Cambridge and insists she has never run into one of these people and has no idea what I'm talking about and claims it's all in my head. My mother also professes that Bostonians are polite and educated and cultured. I'd really love to know where the other side of this dichotomy is, because they and the rest of my family talk about a Boston I've never been able to find.

Around here just about every town with a river has some form of a River Road, be it upper, lower, north south.......
As far as elevation goes, I've said before, you can't swing a dead cat with a 1000' of elevation gain.

So, in the current situation, I do bookkeeping at the shop on Friday mornings before we open. This was in a work stand.

Beans of an unknown variety, cooked in the pressure cooker. Pineapple/mango for dessert. Cheesecake does not exist here. Flan is a pretty good substitute though.

There was a Golden Corral in Rock Springs, and during the week approaching a dinner date we had there I had memories of my childhood visits to one. They all involved chocolate pudding. I must've overindulged a time or two. Before that 2016ish visit I hadn't been to one since approx 1978.

8 speeds are all one really needs, TBH.
My parents like eating there. Seriously.

There's a Domenic's bike shop here in the Valley, Est. 1979. Wonder if they had some frames done up...

I think that's it. They had "Team Strada" (as seen on the chainstay) BITD, then by 2013 they'd changed the team name to "Strada Racing."
