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

Yes, the largest Specialized dealer in the world was at risk of folding before my $15 service.

Had a very easy ride today. Just rambled around. Took a picture of a Wheelasaurus, flowers in front of my lunch stop, and one that my camera took on its own in black and white.

Could have been a cartasaurus or a wagonasaurus but I'm going with wheelasaurus.
