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’d like that. Provided that it’s a recovery ride for you so that I don’t feel bad for holding you up

I can''t find your power meter post so this will have to do. Probikekit has the crank arm version for $200, but only for an hour. There is no indication as to when that hour commences. When you enter the site?

Not for nothing, but there's NO WAY I have 90K posts here. Unpossible. Can't be over like 50K.

Cute pic, @WhyFi. It’s a cliche, but enjoy them while they are young. Time passes too quickly IMO.
