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 would think that hummus is mainstream enough. At the very least, I would think that most would recognize it as a substitute for ranch dressing - a dip that makes the requisite veggie tray palatable... or is the requisite veggie tray no longer requisite? Oh well, it they don't appreciate it, screw 'em - more for you.

OK why do people in the 41 ask about their bike/parts AFTER they buy it? Did I get a good buy?? Is it worth it?? Here is a prime example: https://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycli...ost-worth.html

People impulse shop...On the other hand, I meticulously research everything, whilst frothing at the mouth, before I spend my money.

You should really try an Italian Salsa Verde as an alternative to the typical dips associated with crudite.

I usually opt out if it's muddy. So far in about 30 races I've only killed one front wheel. Luckily I run cheap wheels, which I can replace for $120 a pair.

Definite faux pas.

It's not like the advice will be any better if they ask first.

I bet it's as tasty as the Tofurky.

In other news, Northwestern upsets Stanford.

That is a good thing. Though, I used to like Stanford, as their marching band was one of the baddest on the planet. They're still pretty darn good, but tend to get into trouble...

In other news, CU got their ass kicked by the worst team in football, giving hope to Northwestern Massachusetts, or whatever other Div III school they have on their schedule. It's so sad, as they have all the pretty wrappings, but absolutely nothing else. It's so confusing.

Lewis is one cool dog. I'm sure that's not the only thing Lewis has been responsible for, but it is what it is.

He ate some molding, tore up some carpeting, and destroyed the legs of the kitchen island bar stools. It happens.
