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

We have monster trucks on the floor here, but the band gets crammed in the corner of the stands for basketball.

If Clemson beats Alabama and then if/when Tennessee beats Purdue, you'll be set.

It's never too early to get your boy a mower too, working together you'll knock it out in no time.
