A friend just invited me on an 80 mile ride this Saturday. There is a nasty climb near the end, but the rest of it is nice and the weather should be fine.I haven't decided, I might wuss out.

I might try riding the MUP out in the sticks on Saturday. it's nice out there but i ride closer to the congested part most of the time. If I do go out that way I'll take some pics. I usually don't stop but maybe I will if I see anything interesting. Last week I saw a flock of turkey's (not Seagulls).
It's past my bed time, I'm cashing out.

That sounds epic. I have no specific plans but it won't be 80 miles and it won't involve much elevation gain. I avoid that as much as i can.

Then lunch and turn around. 5500 feet of climbing with a tough one near the end.

I worked with a guy who chewed and didn't like cigarette smoke. He kept trying to get me to chew so I tried it one day on a job. After a few minutes, I lit up a cigarette, while chewing.

So remember a couple weeks ago when I posted that one German metal folk band? Letting my freak flag fly that's where I tend to go (German rock).

That second one is particularly timely, being about rumors spreading easily and creating a druglike urge for more.

So, LSS shared my bike spending numbers for the past few years with me. Not a cheap sport, but not the most expensive either.
Should we discuss numbers or is that bad manners?
