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

New tire installed. LBS didn't have 25mm SECA RS in stock, so I got the wire bead version. 95g heavier.

In other news, the club ride happened to take the same route as the Dstrong deal. That scared the living **** out of me. Back on the horse though. Home, Boulder, Ward, Nederland, Wondervu, back home. 7500 feet of climbing.

Sweet ride. Back in the saddle. It has to be a relief. Congrats.

I got some Dstrong this morning as well. Saw the signs, but no clue what it was.
