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

My mother- and brother-in-law aren't exactly avid cooks, but even so, I couldn't stifle a snort of laughter when I noticed they'd stored their heat-and-serve mashed potatoes in the refrigerator vegetable drawer.

They do. When the Prime Minister of New Zealand speaks, I want to jamb ice picks in my ears. I know it's not Oz, but it's not 'merika, so it's all the same, right?

You can now stay at Buffalo Bill's house--if you dare. The place also sells souvenirs, including Skin Suit Soft Body Lotion.

Group ride + surprise ice = bad.

Luckily all injuries were mild.

For the next three months winter shall prevail and savage the land at will. Mercifully, in the fantasy-north of Tennessee it shall last only two months.
