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

She's pretty small, but she has a huge heart. I don't know if she beat that horse and I don't know if he's a team member or if he just bought the kit.

Venisin for the winter!

He gave me some deer jerky. Hmmm?

How about booze?

Gotta stay hydrated on the ride. This is the way to do it!
