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

Guess the vehicle, based on battery placement.

I cannot ID pianos by sound.

I cannot ID vehicles by battery location.

Nonetheless, I'm doing just fine.

a local high school would be a great place to start. They have gymnasiums with a basketball court. I'm sure you could have seen one in your glorious Sharpsville years if pops would have been so inclined.

Two more cyclotourists arrived today, one of whom was born and raised in Tierra del Fuego! The other is from Barcelona. Tomorrow they end their tour, in Merida, two years to the day from their start. In Tierra del Fuego, of course. They will be gifting their bikes to some lucky persons, and are happy to move on to new lives without them. They report that their bodies and minds require rest.

That looks like something VAG would do. Either that or it's the battery for the accessories/door locks on a Tesla.

Wish I had the time to ride down there. Take a while for me though I'm probably only good to average 65 miles a day.

Let's see.

https://www.google.com/search?q=knox...key+basketball

The only relevant link I see on the front page is a game in New Market (an hour away) in 2015. If I had been out in the real world maybe I would have been there.

Gonna see if I can make it through this Halmark movie. It's got Andie McDowell, a step up from the mom on Home Improvement, so I might get through it if I put some fresh tyres on the MTB while watching.
