My MIL loved Tennessee Ernie Ford, so for her funeral, we chose one of his hymns, "How Great Thou Art", I think, for the Funeral Home to play. I gave them the disc and told them which track, the number and all.
And yet, as the service was about to begin, what started playing? "Sixteen Tons". Oh, sure, they stopped it pretty quickly and put the right track on. But still...
For my Dad's memorial service, we kids chose a piece that, to all of us means "Dad".

He put this on every Sunday morning, as far back as I could remember.

75 mile club ride today, my longest in a while. Felt pretty good after the first 25 miles.

You know, they make sweat guards, and they work pretty well. Unless you're just using the bike as a drying rack for towels, in which case, nevermind.

One of my favorite Cannondales is for sale cheap but unfortunately it's been destroyed by trainer time ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Paint on the underside of the toptube absolutely wrecked:

As an aside, I really don't get people using steel bikes on trainers. It's like the worst possible pairing.

Also, I guess if you keep a bike on the trainer it really doesn't at all matter what bartape you put on there

Kilogram is an appropriate unit to measure LesterOfPuppets 's mass.

What does a really tall person do with their life if they don’t have any hand eye coordination?

Drop things that people ask them to grab off the top shelf?

replaced mine with Conti Extreme Contact DWS at about the same price. Ouch! Thinking of going with ATTURO AZ850. Much better price and people love them. Now back to bikes. Check out the Rennlist Macan forum.
