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

You know what's stressful? Three months of living in a dark freezer.

It was pretty nice here in Philly yesterday morning with full sun and no wind. But now it’s snowing.
