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

I lost one on my commute to a fast youngster who racks up multiple KOMs in a single ride.


Finally I made an effort and busted a lung to literally tie. Really? Couldn't just eek out another watt or two?

I would say that sitting around playing with GI Joe's is a little too childish for an adult, but video games and coloring is fine by me.

Not sure I'd agree with the sentiment on the shirt.

Clearly they should be pointed toward Addiction where they can receive the help they need.

There will be a couple kegs for post ride. We have to share with a few hundred people though.

With the recent track record, I have a hard time believing in the forecast for the same evening, let alone a week out.

Is it a rain or shine event?

Hey, people with iphones...

When I send a photo via MMS, does it get sent at full resolution? I think early iphones would re-size for text, but how about the current 6S? I'm sending photos I took on my pocket camera that I transfer to my phone with my wifi SD card and I'm sending them to my friends, but I'm wondering if they're getting the full photo.

Can't you have them check the size on their end? Or maybe just confirm with the wife's phone?

I believe it's rain or shine. They don't have a good website... In the past they had their own website with a lot more details and FAQ, but now it's just a single page on the St Jude website.

I see 40% chance of rain as a 60% of shine so we should be all good.

Hire Pepe as a consultant and adviser for assistance with this.

True. Just tried that. Since I'm a dolt, I couldn't tell what the file size was from the photo I sent to myself and downloaded to my camera roll, so I had to email it along with the original to myself as well, since zooming in and inspecting details doesn't necessarily guarantee that it hasn't been re-sized.

Turns out they are the same size. Iphone sleuth over here.

The menu says we're having "NY style hot dogs" for lunch today. I asked the cook if that means dogs of questionable provenance which have been floating in the same water for God knows how long and she laughed her ass off. #bigcityhumor
