But I'll be on vacation Friday... building a wheel.
It's supposed to thunderstorm all four days I'm home alone, but I'll try and sneak some long rides in between lightning strikes.I can't hate Botto. Rather, I must use him for bike travel inspiration.

I had thought I had posted a year ago thanking you for the pictures & story but I just scrolled through the whole thread and didn't find it....well better late than never, great story & pictures Botto.
BTW, I'm really enjoying Universal's coverage of the Vuelta...both on my computer at work and on tv at home....

this might be perceived as self aggrandizing bumping, but the fact is that i need to remind myself why i ride through the winter.

This picture causes a trick on the eyes because on the upper right the horizon is skewed as well. Because the road at 45 degrees is effectively a 100% gradient
