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

Rest up and be kind to yourself for a while.

Here you go @velo vol,
a good mid 80's song that you might like. Hopefully it will give you encouragement.

Yes, in the Sargasso Sea on a slow day during some race to Bermuda. The water there is the most amazing color.

Never seen one before. Thought they were a legend. That’s pretty awesome, I know the obx was shut down years ago because one was spotted off the beach.

No rocks here. We just get stuck in the mud. Often.
