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

I could see pages 387 and 390, but not pages 388 and 389. What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on?

Edit: Problem persists despite this post.

@Big_John
No matter how I type this, the site can't find it. I'm listening to a collection of old Dylan stuff. You were correct in your distaste for 'Modern Times'. I had somehow forgotten about all this stuff that I'm now hearing. I have forgotten an enormous quantity of stuff, in the past five years, since my concussion. Thankfully, manual skills have stayed with me. But day to day stuff and especially timelines have escaped.
Edit: Well there's the problem. I can't make the big and the john to not be capitals. I always thought the problem was the opposite of this. Capitals don't stick.

Wrong Big John is your issue. I have an underscore between big and John.

Before the dawning of the 21st century I barely knew Bob Dylan existed. Only since meeting my wife in '04 did I add three Dylan songs to my phone - Rolling Stone, Positively 4th St, and Times Changing. Just 3, I haven't heard anything else that interests me. She introduced me to a lot of 60s/70s rock I wasn't into before - Joplin, Crosby Stills & Nash, etc. - because most of that stuff wasn't played on the pop channels in the big city where I grew up.

It's all about the underscore. Is there a twin @velo_vol? Apparently not. Sad.

The husband of a coworker is a Physicist. One time they were discussing something and he said, "It's not rocket science, and even if it were, we'd be fine, because I am a rocket scientist!"

There was a meteor shower last night. Who knows who or what may have been hitch-hiking a ride on one of them.

Running up to Richmond to celebrate me surviving another year.

Wife got me a pair of thermal bibs which were quite comfortable. She told me I could pick out a jersey at Cary Town Cycles too.

I’ve been noticing that my garmin has a speed discrepancy whenever there are trees in the equation. Today I was tracking along the cap trail at 19 mph when I came upon some trees. My speed immediately dropped to 14-16 mph. My wattage, and cadence stayed the same and I didn’t shift gears. The trees are disrupting the unit from tracking speed.

My question, if it’s disrupting speed can be disrupting distance?

Not a huge deal, but It was all I could think about while I was pedaling this morning.
