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

In other baseball news, the D-backs cardboard cutout crowd is completely masked.

Might want to get someone knowledgeable to look at your foot/ankle/pedal mechanics and possibly recommend some shimming somewhere.

Alternatively, you could post on the 41...

Nope.

I took my shiner for an after work ride. Then I went home and HTFU and cut one of my lawns. I am now off the cutting the grass on the weekend cycle. More free time on the weekend is a good thing.

Mental acuity is stellar so I am suffering no after effects from the incident.

Mind you, it's possible you only THINK it is.
