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

Addiction didn't become the Greatest Thread in BF History with pathetic shortcuts like skipping entire chapters.

Sequels

Are there really 20 previous threads? I'd like to see the links for all of them. It should be the first post.

Flying Burrito Bros.

I think I found THE tandem. Hopefully it languishes 'til my bank account's ready for it...

Too old to be racing 2 days in a row. I will say, Colorado College is a gorgeous place. Pretty certain I could never afford to go there.
