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

Down to 34C. Might have to put a sweater on. I bought 4 Panaracer innertubes, a few minutes ago, from Amazon. Did I buy crap? I seem to always be out of innertubes. Oh and, I'm listening to 'Days of Future Past' on Deezer. What a treat!. I bought that album while living in my freshman dorm, at Miami of Ohio. Learning about the world. For the first time. Not the last.

Not quite there yet.


*Also, I'm not getting notified of the @s. Only catching them as I read through the thread.

Are you focusing on speed, endurance, or both?

More endurance for now. Speed will come with time, and weight loss.

I think I married the right one, because that has not been my experience.

Kudos. I tried a few times years ago when it was discussed here before. It really gets your cardio going. Probably good for bone strength, too.

Sadly I do not own a skip rope.

At least here I feel young. We got some young'ns at work (finally), and they keep making me feel old. One had apparently not heard of Doom.

I've always enjoyed Panaracer tubes.

Running the $3 tubes from Jenson nowadays.
