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

It was probably propofol. At least that's what we use in USA. It's metabolized quickly so you don't feel hung-over after they turn it off. It is what Michael Jackson used. If you are being monitored while it's administered it's quite safe for anesthesia. Using it nightly at the Neverland Ranch and the "doctor" goes out for a smoking break while you are under, not so much.

Sounds like a data nerd.

I've never averaged my months. I would be under my last 15 year's average, but may have possibly have exceeded my 38 year average, since a majority of the 38 years I have 0 miles.

I’m surprised no one asked how many miles my average is. It could only be 10 miles.

Average is actually 249 miles. I’ve crushed it with 266 and I’ve got another day to go though the forecast is for light snow and sleet mix.

I’m at 422, but i’ve been blessed with good weather and not having to go to work. I’m sure once i’m back at work my actual miles will drop to 50 or less.

I mean, I'll have only ridden 22.6 miles for the month! That's still a lot more than 0, and it would have been more but I wasn't going to go ride outside while sick.

That's not a surprise. The criminal is one thing, the civil us much more unforgiving.

I know that everyone has been on pins and needles, waiting to hear about my Tire Decision 2020. Wonder no more - I will be rolling on the new Schwalbe Pro One this year.



(Let's hope they don't suck.)

Now that Conti is in the tubeless game, maybe Michelin will jump in, too - I'd buy some Pro 5 Endurance Tubeless.

No, but there is the forever judgement, and no way to amass any type of savings to deal with. There will be a judgement, and it doesn't have to be a contingency lawyer to get that done.
