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

I thought I posted this link before, but here are some from the Charlotte races. I was working freelance this race so the images are mine. Most weekends I am 10/99 under someone else so I don't have rights to the images. (since they pay me to play...lol)

PS Check out the Pamela Anderson pics boyz!

That's funny. "Precious in the garage" Reminds me of the recent story of wife scorned in England who sold her husbands Lotus Espririt Turbo on eBay. The auction ended at $0.90 USD

I can't seem to find the the original eBay listing anymore. But it lasted all of 5 minutes ending with Buy Me Now! The buyer came by and picked it up before the husband came home from work!

Priceless!

See the story

BTW: I've worked with Information Systems for the last 18 years

VP Production and Creative Services for the Portland office of a worldwide ad agency. Basically, I'm the executive producer overseeing all the television commercial, infomercial and corporate communications production. I hire all the talent - Directors, Producers, Editors, Composers, Graphic Designers etc. I also help find new talent for the creative department - specifically writers and art directors.

It's primarily a desk job and I have 3 computers on my desk - one is always on to this forum.
