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

Oops, in my distracted state I was thinking that record is for June only.

It'll be good just to see him out there. You never know, he could have a moment.

Might not have made the news yet. If he wasn't struck it might not.

This was really sad. I have known his parents for a long time. Really nice people. Dad worked for the EPA. Used to see him a lot as his office was across the street from mine. Mom works for the PA Horticultural Society. I remember doing an educational ride one fall Sunday. Sam was so young he was being pulled in a trailer. I did the memorial ride.

I have an AZ flag jersey but haven't worn it in a while because it's not full zip, and I've practically gotten to the point where if it ain't full zip I don't wanna deal with it.

It was raining pretty good at Camden Yards a little bit ago, but now just a drizzle so they decided to play ball, just an hour later than planned.

This Legnano has been languishing on CL for a while at $400. I might have to shoot an offer of $222 and see what becomes of it.

Worst that could happen is they say no. Unless the worst that could happen is they say yes.
