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

He is going to be tough for anybody to beat. I’d love to see him slice up the niners.

Funny thing though, often times that MVP tag is a jinx.

Heard last night that he has been in the championship playoff game every year of his pro career, or something like that.

Yeah, temps >100 are something else. I did one ride last year where the temp was 95-98, and it was a completely different ballgame from high 80s/low 90s, and that's still almost 20 degrees difference. You don't ever feel sweat. You just accumulate salt deposits everywhere. And even descending at speed doesn't feel any cooler - it's more like opening the oven and climbing in.

You can keep adding clothes to warm you up, but once you're down to the minimum legally acceptable clothing, all you do is get hotter and hotter. If the sun's on you, you can feel it burning your skin.

unfortunately his surrounding cast is not the same as in the past. Even Kelce is dropping balls that are right to him and even tho Rice has emerged nobody else is reliable. Look at Mecole fumbling on the goal line. you can tell Patrick is second guessing every one of his receivers and ends up getting sacked or throwing it away. going to keep my fingers crossed tho...

So we don't look like Randy in "A Christmas Story", and we can put our arms down BEFORE we get to school.

Also, foosball season doesn't start until the end of August/early September. Summer heat is already a distant memory by then.
