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

Officially going to Bus school in May. Only took a year. I pray that it is in Charlotte and not Dallas. No offense Mojo, but 5 hour drive is a lot more favorable than a 26 hour drive.

Get someone else to put you on retainer.

The Eagles hired people before the 2004 NFC Championship game after the city got 13” of snow the night before. A homeless guy worked for over 12 hours without gloves. He had to have several fingers amputated due to frostbite.

They fit nicely between Cake and They Might be Giants for me. Not alphabetically, musically. But I guess alphabetically too, so maybe they are a dual threat.

Same rolling resistance, or an insignificant difference.


Further more, how does a tube affect rolling resistance.
Tubes affect rolling resistance by:
  • flexing of the viscoelastic material (rubber or plastic)
  • rubbing between tube and tire inner casing

No, all hers. She didn't want to drive back from Dallas during rush hour.

Most times when we're together she has a chauffer.

Ben Stiller. I misspelled it because I was operating my phone with no glasses. I’m pretty sure the movie was “Something About Mary”. One of the few movies I have seen on the big screen, and I saw it a number of times. I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. Perhaps as a double feature with
The Big Lebowski.

I hope they do another season of TDF unchained. Just watched it again, makes me itch for a bike. Looking like i’ll get to ride with Seypat on Sunday if I don’t get delayed or diverted or any 2 of those things.
