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 think he requested a ban so he concentrate on schoolwork or something. I'd check the Banned Users thread.

I bet many, myself included, have considered a requesting the mods to ban them for a short period to get some work done. Except for Pcad of course.

Pcad is probably the only member here who has requested the mods ALLOW him to get a sock puppet account just so he could get a higher post count total at a faster rate.

You guys are right I had myself banned. I got laid off in August and just needed to step away from BF. In that time though I picked up guitar and got back into playing music as well as deciding to go back to school to pursue another degree (business/marketing). So in the end when my ban lifted between trying to study music, train, look for work and get school started... bf just didn't grab me like it did before.

I have been putting miles in though and a hell of a lot of time at the gym and man I feel like I could rip the cranks off my bike right now. I'm also about three times more comfortable on the bike now.

I second that, it's odd. I hope I have to ask someone to lock me out of something besides the internet, since this place just really isn't that tangible.

Nice. Sounds like the time off has served you well. Maybe I should consider doing the same haha.

I took 2 months off and went to Europe. I lost 15 pounds while eating tons of bread and nutella and drinking massive amounts of beer. I am starting to think maybe BF is loaded with carbs.

nice to see you back nick. we'll put the hurt on next season.

As long as my foot doesn't go ape-**** I'm on track to being on game next season. If I start laying on the intensity and the foot explodes I'm most likely going to have to ditch the idea of racing the first half of the season and put my foot in a cast from what I've heard :/
