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

Hard ride today. I'm inching ever closer to a datlas approved 100'/mile with 4000'/46mi today.

Climbing highlight was Green River Cove Rd: 2.4 miles, 970', 7-8% average with 17 total 15-20% switchbacks.




Hopefully I will be able to walk tomorrow.

It had a 3.5" floppy.

Wut?

You could just say you don't like it - Beauty in the eye of the beholder, and all that - rather than assuming the role of arbiter of what constitutes acceptable art.

I don't remember exactly when we got our first digital camera, but it was after this 2001 adventure.

From the rjones28 photographic archive.

I did. I don't like it because I already have enough ambiguity in my life.

And it's "wut"

Ambiguity doesn't make it bad art. Since life is full of ambiguity, and art imitates life, there's a lot of room for ambiguity in art.

Velo vol, arbiter of wut.

lol. I never asked for his approval or opinion since it doesn't matter to us. I'm sure we would all find something is someone else's house that we don't like.

I am looking for an 11s freehub body for my Reynolds Assault rear wheel. I posted in "WTB" and someone actually responded. The grammar is a little funny and it's a new user with one post, so I am thinking I should NOT get my hopes up. Right?

Correct. It costs no more to at least be polite or say nothing.

Reminiscent of car commercials of the era though most had a sport ute. Still, similar vibe.
