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 fact, I think I will listen to it right now, and then some more George Carlin, which made me laugh harder than anything I have heard in months. I sure miss that guy.

We're never going to do a proper bicycle ride with that kind of scheduling.

I know! The places I want to be are always short, and the places I don’t want to be are always long. Next week i’m in Philly for 28 hours.

OK, here's some AZ action. We got our 145th day of 100°+. Broke a record for the day with 102°.

Now if we can just beat that latest 100° of the year record. Current latest is Oct 27; I wanna see 100 in November.

You could quit in the morning, take your severance check to a bike shop, and we could get in a good ride in the afternoon.

They were just the one series of steam locomotives built for Union Pacific. 4-8-8-4, articulated so they could go around bends. Biggest steam locomotives ever built.
