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

Late 90s Super V, mid 90s Trek 930, and turn-of-the-century HardRock all donated to a local org that fixes up bikes to give to foster kids at Christmastime.
There was a Pterry book involving the fact that anyone who used five exclamation marks in a row was clearly unhinged.

This "ride" just took a KOM from me. Strava's newly upgraded and much heralded auto-flagging algorithms sure are awesome.



I'm impressed that the guy could record an activity for 22 days without killing his phone sooner.

I've done a week's worth of commutes before, Wonder what the longest ET on Strava is.

He must not have spent much time at 73.9 mph to have an AVG of only 6.3

Spent 90 minutes this morning doing yard work then went to an outlet mall for shoes and a new bi-fold wallet. Purchased both after some searching then went to Woodstock for lunch at a brew pub. Had a grilled chicken sandwich and the Mrs. had a fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese. Not real healthy but tasty. She also got a 5 ounce beer after tastings were offered. I had water. Photographic evidence below.

I have no idea what the soil depth is here.
I know folks who have planted it in central and southern Ohio (different varieties I'm sure) and if they don't actively contain it, it can take over acres.

Living at elevation gives you the opportunity to hand pick your weather. Simply adjust your elevation for the day and the weather is always perfect

Not sure why it's called that but that is what I always called it. I got it at the Fossil outlet store. I understand your logic.

Yea, I prolly should actually read what I missed when I jump in the middle of some new pages. That would require patience.

I see no evidence of your water consumption. Will have to take your word for it.

other wallet did not have a place to securely hold receipts. It was one of those thin ones that you can put in your front pocket. The shoes were ragged and worn out. I got 4.5 years out of them.
sorry I disappointed you I'll try harder.
