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

Yup! Just when I was liking the sunrise at 6am here! We really need to abolish daylight savings time! All the BS about saving electricity, nobody else around the world does it. Enough!

My morning consists of getting up and getting to work by 6:00.
All of my free time is in the evening so put me down for a thumbs up
on the DST.

Every year we take time to save daylight, but each winter is just as dark as the last.

Time for one more MTB ride before the road bike rules again.

Yup, but I use a clock for an alarm, my phone isn't loud enough to wake me up.
