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

Told by my girlfriend to ride more

Of course I loved hearing that. She told me to stop cooking dinner ehvery night after we get home from work and go riding instead, and she will cook. I cook because I love to cook and feed my family. I love riding more, though. I am one lucky guy. She got me th e bike for my birthday and didn't think I was riding it enough.

Bring on spring

Hey, at least I didn't say anything about it giving more time for her other boyfriend to come over. That would just be wrong.

While at the same time saying that it likely won't help enough to attract other women.
