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

Nah, just a measly 15 with gusts to 30. They're wusses.

Llamas. Alpacas are more wooly and less shaggy, with more sheep-like faces.

I had no idea they were out there, and was just thumping down this rural road and looked right and he was chewing breakfast and staring at me.
