No loaded bicycle, but that's about what I naturally top out at. I don't force the issue at that speed.

Just said yes to Marion-Bermuda 2021. I have a year to train for tolerating: sleep deprivation; sitting on hard surfaces; scopolamine; living dirty, stinky, and wet; rich WASPs; and alcohol.

There's basically no mosquitoes out in the lawn, but step a few feet inside this area and they're buzzing all over. You got to keep moving, to the extent possible, because if you remain still for even four seconds they'll be on you. It's crazy.

Remember the George Carlin bit about the 7 words you can't say on TV?
We should come up with the equivalent but for the BF censor!

The thing about the censor is it can't understand context.
Eg. "Everyone thinks Joe is a tough guy, but he is really a big ***** cat" the word before cat SHOULD be ok in this context, but in other circumstances it could be censored. The censor is a very blunt instrument.

Well, using "Preview Post" revealed that they fixed the bug I used to use to bypass the filter. Now I know what I'll get up to this weekend.

However, they let even Geraldo Rivera into the host club, so it's not that exclusive a group.

If the rear rider isn’t pulling their share of the weight, is it possible to eject them?
