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

Aches and pains are common in seniors.

Record high temps forecast for next week. That has to mean 40s. The mini mortar mixes today were pointed at getting the pool back in order

Yeah, it's posted in the 356 group, so it's gonna be 50s-60s most likely
Also from the group, for the red car spree

It's my favorite body style of Ford trucks. A guy I knew had a 56 panel truck when I was 16 and I wanted it but my dad wouldn't let me buy a car that wasn't running.

If you are offered the senior discount on a barca-lounger at the Brown Squirrel, that's a sign.
