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

Wow, I had no idea. But if game 2 is any indication it looks like the Celtics could have an easy time getting to the finals.

Reggie Miller has a house near here on a route we ride often. He also rides road bikes but I have not encountered him on the road. If I do I could give him a message for you.

Our house is invaded with critters. We are dog-sitting my BiL’s German Shepherd (name is Sherman), plus somehow we have a chipmunk in the house. Plus the cat. Too many critters!

Sherman

My friend is visiting from SF area and brought a bike. He has a custom Calfee 1X. It’s quite nice but sadly not my size.

He should be careful, then, because the paint fumes might ignite.
