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

All I need now is the studded front tire I ordered, and I'll be able to hammer on that trail, instead of just derp along.

We took in a Lakers vs Timberwolfs game last night.

It started 19-0 in the first few minutes.

@BillyD the Lakers could use your help.

There has been talk of riding some gravel and going to OHSO for dinner tonight. Unfortunately, unless I stop eating at least an hour before riding, I have a tendency to burp whatever the last meal was. (Ham and ranch-style beans are off my menu for a good long time after our most recent ride.) This doesn't happen as much with beverages so maybe I should have a Bloody Mary for dinner.

His pre-game warm up would be a good hour on the trainer.

In other news, today is my 1 year ann'y here at BF. A little short of 1,000 posts but I focus on quality not quantity. I will celebrate with a trainer ride tonight for my first "ride" of the new year. In a week I gained many pounds and am now too fat for this sport. is there any hope? I look to the eternal optimist @Velo Vol for an answer.

You should focus on quantity. That's how you get forum respect.

He has a white spot on his chest; thus the name.
