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 think I somehow lost my Topeak micro-rocket pump. It may have been TOO small.

A few years ago, I lost my Zefal frame pump that I had for 25 years. Sad.

No amount of money would get me there. It's too cold here in the great state of Georgia, land of the awesome shovel and plentiful water. My next move is further south.

These people who live north of the Mason-Dixon line just don't get it.

My family still thinks I'm going to miss winter eventually. Meanwhile, I keep trying to talk AG into retiring early to Belize or Malaysia or some such place. Get away from the Texas winters.

If you don’t have kids, you can likely do that sooner rather than later. How about Yucatán? Our own seeds can give you the inside scoop.

anybody know of a good light jacket that has removeable sleeves? For riding in 50 plus weather, that also won’t break the bank. All the ones I find are 60 plus dollars, and they have been hard to find.
